I think you should get researching and find out all their different needs. Then decide which ones fit within your budget and space requirements.

Re: What should i get

Ackie's, sav's and ameiva,s are burrowers. I've never kept any of them but i have done research on ameiva's and have talked to people who have owned them. And they say you don't see them much as most if not all are wc and very skittish. Sav's are also mostly wc but i believe they are much more bold but need large enclosures. There are a few ackie breeders so getting a cbb ackie really shouldn't be to hard from my understanding. An atb is way different then the other species you have listed. And great if you want a snake to show off and from my understanding cbb can be pretty calm if handled from a young age.

They all are good... It really depends on the level of commitment you have towards them. Will you get a lot of reward out of something you have to put a lot of time effort and money into or would you rather have something a little more simple?

Btw the proper name for an ackie is "ridge tail monitor" i believe ackie is short for its scientific name.
