I'd vote no on the canards, yes on the bigger tail surface or tail length. Canards are bad for stable flight--once the nose starts pitching up, the canard surface gains angle of attack, which makes more nose lift, so you can get large oscillations. OTOH, when the nose pitches up, the tail surface gains lift which makes the nose drop, which decreases the size of oscillations. A longer tail lever will give you more stability also.
