Hmm for disposition I would have to say either Citharischius crawshayi or Pterinochilus murinus. For looks I like all of the Avicularia sp. and for some reason I love the simple black of a Grammostola pulchra.
i only have 20 T's, the ones that kept me entertained would be, A. geniculata, P. murinus, Rosie, chaco, G. pulchra, A. seemani, P. cambregie, H. gigas, L. parychibana and H.minax.
You guys might do better describing their living choices as arboreal, opportunistic and obligate burrowers. Opportunistic and obligate relate to burrow structure. An obligate burrower digs into plain old earth (mostly desert species), while an opportunistic burrower will inhabit an old burrow created by another animal (not always another spider burrow), or will utilize objects such as rocks and/or logs to burrow under. An arboreal will create or utilize a structure above ground level, all arboreals are also opportunistic for the most part (except most Aviculariinae).
I don't think terrestrial is quite the best description, fossorial is more applicable for ground dwellers.
Good point Steve. I usually think of the types as: above the ground, on the ground ( surface or shallow retreat), and in the ground (tubular burrows) - being arboreal, opportunistic terrestrial, and obligate burrower, respectively. So for my choices:
Arboreal: P. irminia
Burrowing: E.murinus
I don't know if I have a fav opportunistic, but if I did it would probably be pzb, or L. parahybana or something of the like.
