I have 2 cleaner, 2 fire, 2 sexy, and 1 anemone shrimp. The sexy shrimp hang out on the anemone shrimps back all day in a condi, so that trio would have to be my favorite although they are all personable and entertaining, so whichever ones you get I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Well, even though you get a cleaner shrimp, it doesn't mean that it will clean your fish. It's a hit-or-miss thing and most of the time when a cleaner shrimp cleans a fish alot, it's a good chance it's b/c the fish has a problem!
I have a cleaner and a fire shrimp and I cannot decide which I like the most! Both are lively looking and get along great with the rest of their tank mates. (mines in a 12 gallon). Also they are great at picking up all the fallen food thaat my fish pass up!
With the sexy- I'd be cautious b/c depending on it's tank mates it may become dinner b/c it's sooo small.
Pistols- I think they are so eye catching. They are always very colorful and have great patterns, the only draw-back is that the burrow and sturr up the sand. (that's why I didn't get one) Also, they tend to hide so if you want to see it constantly, I'd reconsider this choice!
