I had an Old Town Loon 138 for more than 10 years. Tough as nails, good floatation and easy to paddle. It was a great boat. I know nothing about the 126 but would go with the shorter boat based on what rivers and lakes the club usually paddles. Based on what I know about the Pungos, decent boat but 'ponderous" to paddle. Not quick at all. Both are stable, comfortable seating and generous pack room. The 126 will be quicker to turn and control more easily than the longer boat. If $$$$$ isn't a major concern, I'd take the 126.

I'm from the Cortland area and know Mosquito well. My son and I both fished out of Loons at Mosquito. Club does lots of Mahoning, Alleghany , Shenango, etc but little lake paddling.
