Thats an easy hands down win, RED ACKIES..

I have a red ackie male, and have had bosc, common nile, ornate nile, etc in the past and theres no comparison at all. Ackies are awesome they are so active, so confident, they spend alot of time in the open running around digging etc. The ackies can live their whole life in the same amount of space that the others can spend a month or 2 in at most in (4x2x2). Ackies have great personalities and are a whole world less expensive to care for properly. What you spend buying a trio of ackies and caring for them for a few years would be dwarfed by what you would spend to care for the others in the first few months properly alone (note I said properly, of course most bosc and nile monitors get care in direct relation to their initial price unfortunately). Lets see $300 for a red ackie or $5 for a nile/savannah? Thats easy Ill pay for the CBB ackie over any overstressed, worm filled, tick covered, half dehydrated, half starved, abused, 1 step from given up on life bosc or nile any day. Every animal I have now except a Russian wolf spider are all CBB and theres a big difference as far as a captive animal goes from past experience.

Now if the poll included others like...

Albigularis for cost no option to properly care for, or Argus, or absolutely no limit on what it cost to buy and care for Komodensis. But with the species listed theres no comparison, Id rather have a CBB quality ackie over any imported half dead nile or bosc. If you want something that costs a fortune to care for and never want to handle it, then by all means ornate nile. If you want an inexpensive animal with high cost of ownership to properly care for but they are kinda neat, yet nowhere near as interesting as most other species get a bosc.

I would say (D). If I did not have my albigs I would have a pair of ornates.

I say C).

D) gets too big.

A) & B) are interesting to watch as lizards, but aren't quite big enough for that dinosaur-like, garbage compactor monitor effect.
