I have a custom-built (not by my own hand) aleut paddle that
I am incredibly fond of. Wander around www.skinboats.com and
see what they've got to say on the subject. Colin Livesey from
skinboats made mine. (Usual disclaimer: no financial interest,
just very satisfied customer).

Anybody who wants more detail can back-channel me.

I agree. I have two Cricket paddles, and standard Greenland and
a storm  
paddle. Very strong and pretty too. But custom designing to your
body is  
always preferable. Have you, or anyone reading this, ever tried
 
symmetrical Aleut paddles? I'm seriously looking at starting
one but first  
hand information has been scarce.
