Its been my experience that the nova's are very aggressive when young, exspecially the females (very cuban like) but most seem to really mellow out with age. Most of the larger specimens (7ft ish) have been very docile, to the point that one could hand feed (not that anyone would but you get the point).

Its also my experiance that the nova's of all age and size, paticulary the females are VERY aggressive towards other crocodilians.
--------------------
The sinensis, I havent really had much experience with yet but I know many who are keeping this species and everyone says there nasty little buggers ... very much unlike there american cousins.
--------------------
siamensis and porosus, as well as hybrids of the 2, I find to be quit aggressive! The siamenis and hybrids I find to be VERY active and VERY food aggressive.
--------------------
Palp's, I find these to be middle range. Mine are fine and dont bother you during cleaning, feeding, etc ... unless you touch or otherwise bother them, then all bets are off.
--------------------
trig's, very aggressive!
--------------------
The Specs, yacares and hybrids of the 2 I also find these all to be pretty aggressive little buggers. I personally find the hybrids to be slightly mellower than the pure bloods but that could just be individual personality traits of my specimens.
--------------------
Osteo's, im not sure how I would call these. I have some that are very mellow and some that think there salties
