I've had these two woods (3 + 5) in my bag from my junior set still, and I'm looking to replace it....

I was thinking of changing to a 3 hybrid or something of the sort. Either Ping or Nike...

My longest iron right now is a 4 iron that goes consistently around 180-190. I need a club that will go 200 - 220 on those par 3s and par 5s.

So, should I go with a 3 hybrid or a new wood? I need something that is easy to hit off the ground as well, so no 3 wood.

A 3 hybrid is not equivalent to a 3 Wood... but more to a 3 iron.

There aren't any irons you can get that will fly the distance of a 3 wood. Most golfers carry one for long shots from a tee or off the ground. That said, you hit a 4 iron 180-ish, you could probably get a 3H to go 190-200 and a 2H to go 200-210 (roughly). For reference, the 3W for most people is about 10% less distance than the driver.
