It really all depends on what you're looking for from a scorpion. If you want something large and impresive looking, then go with a emperor. If you want something interesting but a lot more aggressive then I'd say get a desert hairy. You also have to consider humidity issues since emperors require a very moist tropical enviroment, and for desert hairies, you need to have the proper mixture of bentonite in your sand to provide a stable burrow. Either of these scorpions are good for a starter scorp. But my personal favourite is the desert hairy. Very active, an aggressive feeder, and you can really observe a lot of their natural behaviour.
