The ficus will be one of the easiest and more forgiving of the trees you're looking at. And if you like the species, I think that's reason enough for me...


That being said...

Bougainvillea are *beautiful* trees, though they can be a bit more of a challenge. Not only for light requirements, but general care, getting them to flower (there are nifty tricks for that!) amoung other things. Will you get a chance to look at the stock before you choose? If so, pick two of those species that you would like to have (research and make sure you can supply the needed growing conditions), and then go with the piece of stock that speaks to you.
