you're going to get sick of hearing this...but really it all just depends on the individual fish. so i'd suggest getting the one that you think looks the best, that way you'll be happy no matter what
I've seen a thread where a Rhom bit its keepers finger clean to the bone, requiring surgury and stitches. If your looking for agressive, this may be your best choise.....just whatch those fingers.
that's not what he asked 
i think you should consider how much money you want to put in this project. tank size is a big factor.
ok im not sure bout how much gallons does an elongatus need, but im pretty sure its about 70 gals.(correct me if im wrong). as for a rhom, an adult would need a strict minimum of 120 gals. if you plan to buy a tank that big, you'll buy your rhom already grown up (they take several years to grow up to adult size) a 15" + rhom would cost you hundreds of dollars.
instead, why not buying shoaling fish like caribes,(like 4-5) they will give the show you are looking for on feeding sessions and they look mean too. but if you want something less expensive, an elong with a smaller tank and a good powerhead will be what your lookin for. for a bad ass looking p, the big rhom will cost you a lot, but will look mean as hell.
up to you, but it doesn't only rely on agresseiveness, think about tank size and money...
