This poll lack laeta which would be my choice. A really beautiful blue when it's a juvie and I love how they turn brown when they become adult, its so different than most arboreal.

Yes. I love my laeta too. They change colour so beautifully with every molt. I'm not even sure which colour phase has been my favourite so far! And they remind me of psalmopoeus more than avicularias for some reason...I think it's their behaviour and the tube webs they make.

A. purpurea

After recently seeing some amazing pictures, A. purpurea has become the Avic I want most (that was on your list, A. diversipes is my #1). Not many spiders with that kind of purple. Just looks crazy.

Metallica.
The white tips of the setae make em super big and fuzzy against a black backdrop. Plus it was my first avic, so I'm kind of partial.
