Default advice on beginner T

ok so im thinking on getting a tarantula. have researched on the chilli rose, pink toe, mexican red knee. but from peoples experiences what would make a good, (INTERESTING) first T, want it to be interesting, get fairly large but be handable. any other species that would be good for a begginer? thanks

Pink toes (scientific name Avicularia avicularia, helps if your searching for a care sheet to enter the scientific name) can be a bit skittish, I know it made me jump when I was new to keeping tarantulas!
