Where you getting the pup? The breeder I got my Boykin from breeds them as well.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. —Colossians 2:6–7

I would go with a GSP. Only dog I have ever had that will keep up with me from a wood duck hunt, to a dove hunt, to tracking deer. They will do anything you spend time training them to do. They are high energy and never want to stop!!!! Best dog I have ever had!!!
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965

Who did you get your Boykin from? Guessing she was the runt of the litter?

I have been gunning at hunt tests for the past several years. I have seen a good many examples of most upland breeds. There are good and bad with all of them, but day in and day out, the GSP’s rule the roost. I can tell you that the breeds to definitely avoid are Weimaraners and Gordon Setters. Never seen one any better than just so so. Most are just plain sorry. The GSP’s typically have a lot of energy and need a lot of exercise so keep that in mind. They will run hard for about 6 hours depending on weather and conditioning. No way my Labs could keep up with them.
Vizsla’s often do pretty well but I have been more impressed with the GSP’s. If you will be hunting wild birds you really need to do your research to find a puppy from a strong hunting heritage on wild birds, and one with high intelligence. Just know that it doesn’t take much to show strong on pen raised birds. Wild birds are a different creature. My buddy’s GSP trailed a running covey for over 300 yards this past weekend until she pinned them and my dog pointed and held them. Took one out of the covey. His dog is in a different league from mine. Pretty incredible dog that doesn’t just run and sniff like so many. She knows how and where to hunt. My dog is just a bit better than average but if you saw her on pen raised birds you would be impressed. Wild birds are the real test.
Another important point that a lot of folks don’t realize is the importance of a visible dog in the field. I prefer the looks of a dark GSP but they are not very visible in the woods and are a detriment for upland work. We use gps collars and can’t imagine hunting without them but you still need to be able to see the dog. My next dog will have more white on it.

If it ain\'t accurate at long distance, then the fact that it is flat shooting is meaningless.

My young one is 30 after a meal and wet. My 15 yo is 40.
Im fairly sure my young one is the runt. All others I see are larger.
A French Brit runs smaller than a Brittany.

It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.
