Default Which Mantis For Me?

I want a mant, but don't know which one. I know that it'll be one of the following, though:

Giant Asian
Gian African
Chinese

What I want to know is yor opinions on each one, your experiences etc
which ones do you find easiest to handle and that?

just what do you think of each one in general - pos and cons

also if you could post pics of each of the species listed above that'd be great lol i dn't know exactly what each one looks like!

and setups please!

thanx in advance!
