You are not silly! It's not easy to sort through the LJ layouts if you don't already know them, or know which ones work best with scaling fonts up. I'm fond of Smooth Sailing (simple, works well with different font sizes, etc), so I could guess it would probably work okay with what you need. And if you like a particular color theme on DW, you can use those colors on a Smooth Sailing layout, too!
