Seeking: advice on kits: stich 'n glue vs strip

I'm new to kayaking and certainly to building a kayak. I've looked at kits on the internet and wonder which kit I should get: a stich 'n glue or a strip? I'm not an experienced carpenter, but I have used tools a little before (building a bookcase for instance). It sounds like a strip kit would be better quality, although more difficult to build. Time is not a problem.
Any and all info appreciated (including suggestions on kits).
Sorry if this is a repost. I did a search and couldn't find anything on this.
Thanks,
chas the novice
