It really depends on what you are looking for in your lizard...

If you want a large (10~15 lb 3.5~4') puppy like lizard then there is no better choice than am Arg B&W Tegu...

But if you are looking for a display animal Monitors have a much wider range of animals to choose from. Many are easily handlable, but not as well or as easily as Arg Tegus.
this^
 
Tegus for sure.

Whats with the foaming at the mouth thing for tegus? I think you've been around some unhealthy tegus.
 
i hear you on handlablity ( if thats even a word?)
i have held savs, timors, niles and even a mangrove monitor. and then held/ interacted with equally sized arg b/w tegus and a b/g tegu. and i will agree with you on tegus ftw if thats wat ur looking for.
personally i think lizards that big are more of show animals, unless you plan on doing presentations to schools and stuff, then they need to be handlable/tame
 
tree monitor is very nice to see,,,
I have a 6 tree monitors at home
V.prasinus / emerald tree monitor
V.kordensis / net pattern tree monitor
V.macraei / magic blue tree monitor
V.beccari / black tree monitors
V.reisingeri / true yellow monitor is not a quince tree monitors
V.boehmei / yellow speckled tree monitor

of the six monitors are resingeri and boehmei quite difficult to eat in the beginning,,
I have to wait about 3 weeks since he came home he just started eating grasshoppers yes, just a grasshopper!

four weeks before she began to eat small birds
long enough he ate the bird about 3 months with his feeding schedule 2 times a week

after this before she started eating mice
and many before my sixth maintain its success with success so many have died I was very sad

but I try to continue until the end of his successful

core tree so it is quite difficult to dipiara monitors and have a slender body

Tegus a home while my appetite was not restrained greetings week he could spend seven medium-sized rat to eat every day without fail hahahahhaha

so the choice is yours:)
