Ugly stick all the way. Get the biggest one you can afford. There's no need to keep it light either, as they have lots of wing area and are very forgiving in stalls. Set it up around 25-26% of the MAC for CG and you'll have a plane that makes it feel like the wind isn't even blowing at all compared to what you are used to. For something bigger and a bit higher performance, all of the classic pattern type planes were designed to handle wind very well. The Kaos, Intruder, Contender, and a ton of others are great flyers. The Kaos is the only one that I know of that is available as an ARF right now though.
