1400 shots is more than an order of magnitude too high!
If I had to choose two standard kites, it would be a Power Sled 24 (~?50) or 36 (~?70) and a HQ Flowform 2.0 (~?80) for portability and ruggedness,
but you would get a different suggestion from every kite flyer:

We fly the above kites on either a 110daN (240lb) or 260daN (570lb) Climax Dacron 100m or 200m line (http://www.armadale.org.uk/kitebasic.htm)
Flying above 60m requires CAA approval: http://www.zenoshrdlu.com/kapstuff/KAPUKLaw.html
