I wouldn't advocate a lab X unless you are aware that a cross can also end up with all the bad points as well. For example a good lab cross would have a laid back dog that had a bit more drive. A bad cross would be a slob of a dog that ate everything and whined all the time.
I would recommend a purebred lab or retriever from a line that you know something about. ie you hunt with the guy and like the way his dog works etc.
