I voted for the vulture cat, but I'd really recommend the bolt catfish, Aguarunichthys torosus. They top out at about 14" and have a similar spotted pattern and coloration as the vulture cat but without the nasty reputation.
 
Tigrinus are beautiful, but if you want to have an active fish, the walking catfish can be fun to watch. A pair will breed in your tank and go through an elaborate mating ritual, plus you'll never find anyone happier to be served dinner. But, it also really depends upon the tank mates too of course.
