Your daughter wants the impossible. She can play your Buffet for indoor concerts, but she simply must play a plastic instrument everywhere else. The Buffet can't take the abuse, and plastic basses are created to absorb it.
Absolutely consider a Vito. They're well made and durable. It's your money, so it's your choice.
Bundys are also good and, as Ben says, nearly indestructible. If your daughter is also "allergic" to Bundys, look for a Linton, which is (was) made by Bundy with a different medallion.
Older Leblancs (with a single register key) were well made and will do if you're sure they won't get too much abuse.
Myself, I'd pick a Vito in a minute.
Give your daughter a treat with a Grabner mouthpiece, plus one for yourself. If that's too much money, consider the Behn, Garrett or Fobes student models.
