Should I get an African Fat Tail gecko or a Leachianus gecko?

Which one makes a better pet? Which do you like better? I have done a lot of research on both types. I like the leachianus a little more because it gets bigger and eats mostly crested gecko diet (I don't mind bugs but I definitely don't love them), but I read that they can be aggressive and bite frequently. In several videos I've seen with leachianus most of them look pretty docile.

Leachianus Gecko all the way if you want a relaxed wonderful pet with a long life span the size of a Teacup dog. They're awesome, but if you want one to mainly look at the African Fat Tails and Leopards are good, I've had some previously, but gave them away because they were aggressive and nor very relaxed while handling. Leachis are very docile and no more prone to biting than any other lizard, as long as you learn to properly handling it you should be fine, but I recommend Leachis over Fat Tails any day due to handlability.

Thanks for the feedback!
Do leachis smell bad? During my research I had read somewhere that people were saying leachi poop smells awful and can clear a room lol. Also, is there any difference between males and females as far as friendliness? Last question...what types do you have? I read that nuu anas are the friendliest. Thanks again! I have plenty of time to decide, I'm not going to a reptile show until September.
