Rats can carry rabies however you will more likely encounter this with a wild rat you find by the trash cans in some cities.
Domesticated rats however are very unlikely to have it unless you deliberately expose them to it.

What breed of rat is the best to have?

There are 3 main types of domestic rat.
~ Brown rat/Lab rat: Rattus Norvegicus
~ Black Rat: Rattus Rattus
~ Gambian Pouched Rat: Cricetomys gambianus
Depends if you want a big rat, medium rat, or small rat. The
Gambian isn't available everywhere. The Brown rat is a very common
one, & there's a few variations.
Do some research on each, & see which is of interest.
