What is the most giant dog you can think of with less probs?

Just out of curiosity. I'm looking around, found a few good breeders who have little to no ethics(good thing) which think culling, etc is okay. From what I've seen and know about the giant breeds, I've been leaning towards getting a Saint Bernard(male/intact). I'm aware of the epilepsy factor, and the breeder has had no epilepsy in the lines so far, nor any of the new blood she has flew in.

I've thought about an English or American mastiff, but.. I just don't know. My friend's mastiff is fat and lazy which is most likely caused by lack of exercise. The dog has also developed several fatty tumors, which kinda scare me about the genetics. I've thought maybe from the food or because he was neutered so early, but think the cause is most likely genetically passed. I don't mind hair, and certainly wouldn't mind drool.

Can you think of any other breeds which do alright in the cold and can do work(pulling, carrying)?
