Definetly go for pelvachromis taetinus They in my opinion are faaaar nicer than the larger more odd looking kribs. Wait till you see them do there breeding show, they flash colour like noones business! Also, taetinus in my experience are a lot more docile and less aggressive than kribs!

EDIT!!!
I wouldnt mix taenitus of the different types (Nigerean + Moliwe) If they cross breed the line will not be pure.

^ Pelvicachromis Taeniatus is just as big and agressive as a regular krib. The only difference is coloration and Collection Locality.

Just ordered myself 2 XL Nigerian red kribs through LFS, be here in a week or two, really excited

For you and the fishes sake, make SURE they are different sexes.

Hmm yeah, he's said hes ordering in a pair (1m 1f) but I'll double check when I see them for sure!

Just make sure you get a male and a female. The males will near kill eachother, and the females will fight to see who is dominant. Whoever loses is going to be hiding for the rest of it's life.
