Well, what are you interested in? My top four tarantulas are acanthoscurria geniculata, lasiodora parahybana, chromatopelma cyanopubescens and poecilotheria sp., but you might want something else. Nhandu genus is another good looking genus.

yep!

I agree 100%. You'll see the OBT more and it will be less expensive, so I'd probably go that route. Also, they're tough as nails. And, you'll have fun working with something that's inhumanly fast, aggro, and has some of the most potent venom out there. The perfect pet! lol.

I've only kept regalis, but I loved those. From what I've heard, the differences between the genuses are relatively minor. Genics rule too, like hardcore. OBTs are another great idea. I like hysterocrates sp. as well. There's so many.

oh yah and my three inch lividum died in a moult. i have no idea why it just did. the humidity was right, it had at least ten inchs of sub strait(it never burrowed)and yet it still got stuck in its moult

I challenge you to kill an OBT. They're like the alien; they can live, grow, and plot anywhere.

Did I mention you don't want to get bit by one? D@mn! Not the way to get your jollies. lol.

p.s. and no, I didn't get bit while handling one. I got bit trying to remove an exuvium from it's webbing (I'm going to use them for halloween). The thing ran up the forceps, tagged me, and ran back into its webbing before I knew what hit me. I was stupid and was corrected. lol.

It all depends on what you are into. Here are my recs based on the characteristics:

Color: chromatopelma cyanopubescens (less attitude) or OBT (more attitude)
Eater: Lasiodora difficilis
Size: Theraphosa blondi
Attitude + venom: any pokie (and the color is a bonus + arboreal) or OBT
Pet hole: haplopelma lividum

Attitude + venom: any pokie (and the color is a bonus + arboreal) or OBT

Nope, S. calceatum takes the cake. Hands down.

thanks guys

I'm going to answer like I always do: Get anything you want. You have the needed experience for any tarantula species, if you remember to be careful.

(and the color is a bonus + arboreal)

Bah, Pokies are generally docile, though skittish. OBTs are also overrated when it comes to the additude. You should all get a big C. crawshayi or H. minax and you know what I mean.
