If you think that the female is going to be what you want, and is out of a good line of dogs, and you had a very suitable male that was a known producer, "If it was me" and i wanted pups, I would do it.
As far as what breed, judging by your post, assuming you are looking to breed her to a hound, That would be entirely up to you, there are good and bad in all, If you could find a good enough male dog, that is/has everything you are looking for, breed shouldnt be all that important as you are making a cross anyway.
Some of the best dogs i have had were 1/2 mtn cur 1/2 redbone, just depends on what suits YOU better.

I used to do this on a regular basis without any problems. my idea was to get more generations behind me sooner so that I could increase my chances of getting a higher percentage of good dogs from each generation. She needs to be proven as a hunting dog before breeding her unless you need more dogs now and you know she is from a good line of dogs. If it were me I would breed her to a larger type of mtn cur or a dog that is 1/2 mtn cur 1/2 bmc that comes from a good line of dogs from both sides. This would give you good sized dogs and possibly quieter on track. Do not make the mistake of picking for color but pick for performance first.
If you dock the tails and dew claws email me and I can help you if you don't already know how.
