Strip: epoxy and fiberglass choices

i have finished stripping the expedition single. after reading as much about glassing as possible in Nick's book and am ready to begin purchasing material. have read numerous posts about weight of the kayak on your great forum and want to do a layup that is moderately durable for lake use. would 4 oz cloth for the deck and hull exterior with a football of 4oz and on the hull inside 6oz cloth reinforcing the seating areas with the thinking the weave on the inside of the hull does not need to filled. would this be a reasonable way to go for a first time builder/kayaker?
thanks
