I went through the same questions not so long ago. After my research, I just bought a used 2016 Hobie revo 13. I'm 6' and 185lbs.
It has plenty of stability specially secondary. I was able to load n unload on a roof by myself for the first time with ease. Plenty of space to have my essentials. Could be hard if you like to carry a tackle shop with you when you try to fish. It's pretty quick but I only compared to compass and outback. It cuts through water and I stayed dry on my first voyage and didn't come close at all to flipping even with power boats flying by me.
Outback is too big in my opinion but I was looking at a compass too. The compass weights less and is a bit more stable but does not track or cut as well as a revo, again In my opinion. The compass does have a good price range for a new which is a plus.
I was on a budget, so when I got a good deal on a 2016 revo, it steered me away from the compass.
Try both and see what you are comfortable in and do some roll tests.
