There is a new kayak shop right near you in Oakley at the Big Break Marina. It's called Adventure Sports and they rent kayaks.
I've personally owned the Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 and Tarpon 160. I've taken both out on the Delta (and everywhere else, all the way up to the SF Bay), and I like both for different reasons. However, I recently sold the Tarpon 120 to upgrade to a Hobie Outback.
Best thing to do would be to go rent a few and see which one you like best. That's what I did before buying the Hobie, and I'm sure glad I did. I tested out three different kayaks and actually ended up liking a different one than I was originally planning to buy.
