If your after a strong frame then the steamroller is a good choice.
Even if the frame is tab heavy, it will feel fast with lighter wheels.
Just my feelings but..
Test ride the steamroller anyway, and try to decide what you like/dont like about it geometery wise.
Look around, there loads of framesets availible from t'internet, and compare geometrys.
Have your LBS look at the reminants of your crash (if you trust them not to say its alll f**ked, just to sell stuff to you)
Buy the frameset of your choice + the parts you need and then get building.
Then get riding. (oh and swerve;))
