I would say Chahoua. I do not know the Sarahs as I do not keep them. The reason is that they are rather pricey considering color. Now if you have the Sarahs withe the white lines, a gek of a different colo, everybody wants one.

Prices are dropping in both species, so beware. Plus it can be problematic selling high end gex for a reasonable price, considering the initial investment. Chahoua are sweeter gex to handle than Leachies, the calmest of the 4 rhac species I keep.

On the Chahoua end, a lot of folks like the more colorful main isle, but I REALLY prefer the Pine isle. The deep mossy greed and white ones...

But as with all gex, you probably need to get both, plus some other species that you have never heard of, do not need and cannot live with out, Ahhhhhhhh, the addiction...

The aurics are holding price better than the cresteds, so not a bad choice. The striped aurics and any auric not black and white does a bit better price wise. They like fruit more so than other species, more like a leachie in taste, but the big GT leach likes mice...

The high end rhacs are tough to get a fair price from the general public, so I am moot as to the benefit of breeding them (initial cost vs payback). I keep them as part of the collection. The real $$$ makers continue to be cresteds and gargoyles...
