Right now I have a Flemish Giant male, who is very sweet, but very lazy! He is also huge 12 lbs at 8 months, so think about how much space you would have for a rabbit, and what size cage/enclosure you would want, as well as how much to spend on food.
I have heard that in general, male rabbits are more affectionate than females, and that their temperments are far better after they are fixed, as their hormones make them go crazy!
I had previously had a 7 lb mini-lop, who was very sweet and affectionate, and a real riot with her personality. She would go through very pouty phases if I left her for a weekend in the care of someone else, or if I tried to do something she disapproved of. That said, she was a real joy to have, her fur was very silky and smooth, and she was just adorable with her floppy ears.
I know there are a lot of rabbits that end up in shelters, many of which would come spayed or neutered, so a good starting place would be to check a local shelter or rescue, because you would help and animal in need, you would know its temperment, and avoid a huge vet bill to have it fixed. Each individual rabbit has its own personality, so it really depends on what size you think you can handle, and then find the right rabbit for you from there.
All that said, I have only owned 2 rabbits, so I don't necessarily have the experiance of others on here, but I hope it helps!
