I am not sure we are on the same page here.
Something "less common" than an Ackie? For every Ackie hatched and sold there are literally 50 of each of those other species sold. Ackies ARE much less common than any of the others you have mentioned.
As for captive bred Mangroves, they are the "junk" of the blue tail family, brought in as imports for $20. Nobody breeds those commercially, it just isn't economical.
If that type of monitor floats your boat, go with the Peachie or Bluetail. Bluetails (Kalabeck's) are gorgeous as babies (as seen below) and less so as adults. The problem comes with adults, as they are big and meaty monitors, with LOTS of movement, so keeping more than a single animal becomes a giant cage conundrum.
I would recommend a 15 ft cage for a pair of Bluetail adults.
