Looking for Racquet & stringing suggestions

I am looking for racquet suggestions for 2 teen agers. Both are intermediate players:
First - 16 yr. old female with a strong two-handed, top spin backhand and an average forehand that she sails fairly regularly. Slight in build, very quick, plays on her high school tennis team - number 4 singles, number 2 doubles. I think a large sweet spot would help the forehand a bit. Needs a racquet that will help build confidence in her net game and serve.
Second - 15 year old male, hard hitter, lots of topspin, big for his age, doesn't move all that well on the court. Will play on High School tennis team next spring. Strong server.
If anyone has any thoughts, I would appreciate some feedback on racquets , stringing, and string tensions.
Thanks

The Prince Diablo sounds good for the guy.

How much weight can the girl handle? I say perhaps she should try the nBlade.

wrong section, post this in the "rackets" section and then "string" for stringing
