It depends what you want out of it as a pet?
if you what something you can pick up then get a terrestrial species such as honduran curly hair or a Mexican red knee these are relatively calm species that are know for being docile.
If you want a pet your happy admiring from afar then the aboreal species are very interesting to watch and very colourful however they are very skittish and fast so picking up is normally out of the question also some of the poecilotheria species have been documented to have some very nasty symptoms if you get bitten such as stomach cramps and vomitting and lasting pain.
there are not certainities though some tarantulas with a bad reputation turn out to be sweeties and others that are meant to be calm are psychopaths.
personally i don't handle any of mine even though many species are ok with being picked up no tarantula likes it and would much rather be left alone. if you want something you can fuss get a cat!

What does a tarantula do when it sees people?
I am not an expert on tarantulas but i have a few of them as pets. The generally will run away from anything that they do not see as food. Some tarantulas will show a thread display but being attacked by one is highly unlikely... I have a Brazilian Birdeater which is the 2nd largest tarantula in the world and even it would rather though me with hairs and retreat... PS tarantulas venom is generally not toxic to humans unless you are allergic to bee venom... So there is really no need to be scarred of tarantulas at all.
