Not sure what types of S-glass they have, but I have bought carbon from them, so might want to check it out.

We've bought 1.4oz/yd^2 S-glass from ACP before. Look under "Hybrid Reinforcements", you want item WF-15A.

ACP and also CST sales (google them) will have what you need. The extra stiffness you gain from s-glass is almost not worth it especially if it's going to also be your aerodynamic surface as the weave is fairly stiff.
