Kevlar has good tensile strength but like zero on the compression side (Like pushing with a rope) My suggestion is "S" Glass nearly the tensil of Kevlar and stiffness approaching carbon fiber..without the britleness elongation in the high 4% range..as for the resin system Vinyl Esters have roughly twice the tensil of polyesters..
Epoxys remember they have no chemical interaction at the interface so a mechanical anchor pattern has to be established IE sanding/scotch brite/grinding take your pick
