Which species does best in captivity?

I have been thinking about keeping a Trimersursus spp. in captivity for some time now. I am an experienced reptile keeper (over 10 years in the field) and have had constructed a professional tank for housing a venomous species.

I had narrowed my list down to the following:

Wagler's Viper
Eyelash Viper
Honduran Palm Viper
Pope's Tree Viper
White-lipped Pit Viper

This is assuming I can purchase a captive-bred species.
Has anyone experience with any of these Vipers and if so, which would make the best candidate for captive care?

Thanks.
