I have experience with neither species, but I understood that the red claws (P. cavimanus) are more feisty than the emperor (P. imperator).
I believe they don't get exported from Africa anymore, so you don't see them that often for sale. Perhaps you should consider a Heterometrus sp. I have one. They get big, black, and are easy to care for.
