Actually Ouro, Todd could have used anyone he wanted. The reasoning for Teyla however went much more than a small amount of Wraith DNA. Remember, it would not be difficult to give a human Wraith mental abilities, as evidenced in "The Gift".
Teyla had very strong mental abilities, abilities he himself was witness to. The fact that she could control a queen if she had to made her the only candidate that he believed could be believable.
Teyla also has been exposed to a Queen's mind more than once. And she is the leader of a people (the Athosians). She has leadership experience, experience with the Wraith, experience with Wraith mental abilities. Although he could use anyone in the galaxy, he chose Teyla because of those abilities.
