As far as aggressivness goes, I think depending on your lighting that I might go with a BTA. They don't have a really powerful sting, and with as many as I have in the tank I have never lost a fish to any of my BTA's.
Now a carpet anemone will not hesitate to eat a fish or two if it gets the chance, very powerful sting and very sticky tentacles.

Lost a purple firefish to a carpet a year or so ago 
The really sad part was the firfish has nestled out a little cave under the rock about an inch from anemone's farthest reach (he was about 14" across"). He liked to hide in there anyway, one day during feeding he overshot his hole and zap ... anemone wasn't hand fed for a couple of days ... stupid $25 meal !!!
