Check out arachnoboards. There're most likely many more members who can answer your questions there than here.

It's not that we can't answer them, it's that the list is too long so we might as well redirect him to the answers.

Hi guys, I was on short vacation, but I now reappear!LOL

All the spiders you mentionned are great animals...

1) What more can be said, a classic, one of the most stunning animals in the hobby, extremely easy to care for, hardy, voracious like hell... I love them... on the skittish side, but not too defensive... webs a lot... but you see them anyway... grows fast...

2) Same as #1, except that hatchlings are much smaller, so if you are considering a hatchling and cannot get freah pniheads, might be tricky, if not stick to well started specimens...

3) + 4) Spiderlings of Brachypelma spp. are very small, so it may be a problem with hatchlings for the food... and they grow slowly and take time to show adults colors, so you have to be patient...

5 ) Big difference between the two, just look at pictures and you will see...

6) Yeah baby! Same as 1 and 2, but dwarf species, so expect a midget tarantula!LOL All looks, nothing in the size... very fun to raise... can be communal...

7) I do not think you need very special experience to keep those as the venom is not potent... but they are fast... great training for a future poke...

If you have any particular questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

Take care

Martin
