Stand up would be lot's of fun on oyster bars if you fish. Inflatable..best bring a patching kit and pump or Life vest...
Go demo some; if it were me I would go solid.
I have a Kaku Kahuna - bit heavy for my liking, but does the job. I use it more like a kayak than SUP. Wind can be a bear, but the exercise is good. Budget aside I would look at a BOTE (ch-****). I mount a powerpole on mine.
Look on craigslist or forums for used ones to save a bit.

Other than the above I approve of paddle craft since they allow you to get up close without bothering anyone else. I'd never recommend an inflatable in the 10K though - too many nasty sharp oyster bars and barnacles on any piece of wood under the water as well... Just don't expect that nice new board, 'yak, or canoe to come out of the 'Glades with no scuffs and scratches on the bottom - it comes with the territory...

off plane.The guide follows me,yells disrespectful,amateur and circles my
boat twice,wide open to make his point.So much for Good Friday fishing!
