See this link on how to assess lake fish condition and balance. Do a seine survey and in depth catch analysis with pics. Also write down exactly what each fisherman has caught/seen over the last 3 years as best you can and compile that info. Start collecting RW info.

I would not spend that money on fish at present. You need an electroshock survey to go with the info above to make an informed choice. You might be better served to start a supplemental feeding program and think about an alternative forage fish (Tshad , Gshiners or other). You may not be using your open water to raise forage (unused niche). Hybrid crappie do reproduce and not at insignificant amounts.
