It's kind of an unpopular opinion amongst some crowds, but when it comes to dogs that pull, I think harnesses are awful. I didn't even order them for the clinic past size medium. It only makes it easier for the dog to pull you (I used to explain it to people that they put harnesses on sled dogs...). If she ends up being the sort of dog that pulls (it's too early to tell and you've still got training to do) then I used to always recommend these sorts of collars. Yes, they are scary looking, but for a dog with pulling issues, it's very good at helping to keep them under control. I used to equate it, if you use it properly, to when your parents would pop you on the back of your head to get you to behave. Didn't hurt you but got your attention.
BUT, right now, she's far too little and young for that. Buy a cheap collar and a cheap leash. When you can, leave the leash hooked to the collar so she can get used to it; let her drag it around the house. She's going to hate it. She's going to rebel. That's the hardheaded chocolate lab in her. LOL
Get a prong collar. Works much better than a harness for keeping them from pulling. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GDZ0RO/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
