You shouldn't house frogs and turtles together - there's a very high probability that the frogs will be eaten.
Southern, midland, or eastern painted turtles are often considered good starter turtles, due to their size. Males of most basking aquatics stay smaller than females. Red-eared sliders are very hardy, and personable, but males need at least a 55 gallon tank as adults (although larger is better, and some larger males really need a 75 or larger) and a female gets even larger.
The real question is, what are you expecting from a turtle? How much time, energy, money, and space are you willing to use?
