Skeet,
To me, Leblanc is always an excellent choice. (I would say, "The best choice," except it would probably start another free-for-all on which clarinet "really is best.")
That having been said: Unless it's an important enough surprise that you would be willing to take a chance on winding up with a "turkey," or at least, an individual instrument she might not like, take her with you to purchase it and let her try them out until she chooses "the one" suitable to her.
Ditto for the mouthpiece and ligature.
Clarinetists' taste for the individual instrument is as varied as there are individual instruments that have different playing characteristics, and that is every clarinet ever made, and I've hardly known musicians more finicky about their instruments than clarinetists.
