If only one, I would say the Chiobrachys andersoni. The females are pretty large, about 7", and an overall velvet brown. Aggressive attitude, but fun to watch take down prey. I keep mine in an arboreal setup and the webbing is only heavy around the entrance to the log.

Vitalius roseaus for sure. Very hard to find species, and I'd love to have one or two for myself!
