I'm with Lester,thermoplastic fibres have been around and used in composites for a long time, there are lots of companies producing composite panels with Dyneema and Innegra as well as hybrid composites consisting of those fibres woven together with other reinforcements like carbon and fibreglass.
If you are looking for suggestions, Innegra is probably going to be the easiest thermoplastic fibre to source, and you can get it in a whole bunch of different configurations. And for your matrix, epoxy is generally the highest performing thermoset resin for most applications. If you are looking for impact strength, you might also consider a phenolic. Vinyl ester might be ok, but is generally a lower performing resin than epoxy. Polyester would be a poor choice.
Resin infusion is probably going to be your best production method, given its versatility and high performance.
