Palm is a good wood to start with. i really like the look of coconut palms. i don't know the difference between the species. not sure about what to look for in fallen trees, but as you said try to find out in there is any rot or bug. you could also look for some white pine, BK say it cuts very easy, not sure if you have white pines in FL. not sure i can help anymore as i'm not much of a woodologist.
