I think I'd like a "sit on top" style that will also allow me to stand up and cast. The local adventure store has some pretty awesome Hobie kayaks that jave this really slick pedal drive system so you can move while you fish. Any suggestions?

Buy the Hobie.
It's a shit ton more expensive, it's substantially heavier and you'll end up having to purchase a trailer versus putting it on a rack on top of the car.
However, when you are on the lake, with pole in hand, you will realize that you would have paid double for what is does versus a standard kayak.
In fact, I will absolutely guarantee that if are using it to primarily fish, and you purchase a standard kayak, you will sell it within two years and buy the Hobie eventually.
It makes that much of a difference when fishing.
