Depends on the style of paddling you want to do; long multi days, day trips, etc. If you plan on being around Rocky areas like the great ocean Rd plastic can be nice for rough landings and plastic will take a hiding and is cheaper. It's also heavier and slower. Glass boats are fast, light and more expensive. Give Damian a call at paddlepro in melbs, he imports heaps of gear and sells direct to public on some items. There are so many options available depending on your price range. The bonus also of fibreglass boats is that if you are handy you can put your own rod holders or other customised options on there too.
I anchor mine and dive with a sling for fish but I can't sit still long enough for a rod. Trawling while on a mission is sometimes fruitful too.

It's great fun and the great ocean Rd when you're ready for the ocean provides amazing 20kmish sections you can link up etc.
No idea on storage maybe Damian would though.
