Personally ,I would get a RD or midas as it'll grow larger than the FH and they're much healthier. My middevil was very interactive. Never kept oscars so I wouldn't know.
Welcome aboard
I've read here that all 4 you listed can be interactive. The Oscar requires soft water and are prone to hole in the head disease if kept in hard water. The Midas would be my choice.
Having an anthropomorphically interactive fish (especially a cichlid) sometimes has a lot to do with how you raise it.
If you get it young, and have it in a tank with "no" other fish. It will be focused on you.
If you put other fish in the tank, they divide its focus, and sometimes dominates attention.
The most interactive fish I've had (and I've kept oscars, red devils, and 100 more species of cichlids) was a male Nandopsis haitiensus.

Here's a similar thread for other ideas.

For me I would say flowerhorn all the way. I hot mine back in February he's in a 125 and he's the best fish I've ever kept. interaction wise he's always interested in me or any one who gose near the tank, mainly to attack or flare up but he's so much fun I can hand feed him stroke his head and so on.
If I had more tanks I'd definitely have more flowerhorns.

Good idea although iv heard they often sit motionless on the bottom and aren't always the most active but i guess each individual is different
