Bob is the largest breeder of Pudelpointers in North America. You would have a very difficult time finding anyone in Idaho who hunts more birds than him. He'll give you a perspective from a great breeder who hunts a ton in your area.
A DD would also be an excellent choice and totally agree with what you say about their breeding goals.
Good luck
Couldn't be happier with my Pudelpointer. Call Bob....he'll at least lead you in the right direction for a versatile breed if the PP isn't up your alley.
