From what I understand they're both equally likely to leave you bleeding and in a lot of pain. Tree monitors are almost all wild caught at this point in time and not known for their charity toward humans. Perhaps this will change in a few years when people start breeding them.

if temperament is important, why not get something a little less nervy for your first captive

I meant first monitor, not first captive. Get something captive bred
