Out of golden, crocodile, gargoyle and crested geckos, which is the easiest to care for and handle? Does anyone know price ranges for each?

goldens and crocodile geckos are generally more display only, while cresties and gargs are much more receptive to handling, less likely to bite or make a break for it.also, most goldens and crocs are wild caught, while all cresteds and gargoyles available are captive bred.
Granted,I might be slightly biased...
Price wise, goldens run around $15+, don't know about crocs, cresteds run from $20+, and gargoyles around $40+
I paid $65 for my male (the red one in the pic) when he was maybe a couple months old.he's just over 2 yrs old now, and the flat out most awesome lizard that I've ever owned.

Goldens and crocs require UV lighting and supplemental heating, plus mainly eat insects. Cresties and gargs don't require any supplemental light or heat, and can thrive on just the powdered cgd.plus cresties and gargs are WAY easier to breed.
Once again, just my slight personal bias...
