I think you should at least try a snaffle. Just make sure you are working with bumps and tugs not long pulls. The more constant pressure you put on the reins the more likely the horse is to just brace against the bit and ignore you.
I wouldn't worry too much about the one rein stop. The horse has to follow it's nose and as long as you get her head pulled around she'll have to stop going forward. You can also try lunging her before you ride to get rid of a little excess energy if you're concerned about her running off with you.
