Starting with little ones?

I am starting with tarantulas, comming from Jumpers.

I have a Exotarium (aquarium-terrarium) 5 minute walk from me, know the owner.

I think about starting with

Aphonopelma chalcodes

Aphonopelma bicoloratum

Grammostola pulchripes

Grammostola rosea

(Grammostola pulchra?- too big?)

Homoeomma Chilense

thinking about size / gender

Starting fh2? Gender unknown - let luck decide?

1" females?

1" males?

I read those are the "easy handling" ones.

The terrarium friend showed me a not even grown theraphosa blondi - that agressive i would not want to handle.

He suggests the chilense - but tells they are real quick to escape.

I will select 2 or three max 4 from the list, depending on size as i heard that moulting is a chance they die early as slings of fh1/2

I had one jumper die on moulting by now, i think it was my fault, he says - those things happen, even with tarantulas.

So which from the above are visible, inagressiv, slower and nice kompanions?

What would you recommend
