To be more direct than most of the answers, and from the sounds it you want to improve your hands, may I suggest you take a southern region style kung fu. Difference being the northern people tended to be taller, leaner, and lankier, so their styles tend to be more acrobatic in nature using many kicks. What most people see as traditional Norther Shaolin Quan. The southerners were a shorter stockier people where they valued forms, solid stances, and grapling more in their styles.
