A B&W or a red would be good to start with, they're pretty much the same, aside from the reds eating more fruit. They're the same size. I think if anything the B&W get longer but reds are more beefy from what I've seen.

As far as size, I think females average about half a foot less in length and aren't as bulky. Males usually get around 4'.

Blues are smaller, not sure about how easy to tame they are but I've seen a lot of tame ones.

A 6x2x3 would be good for a blue or a female tegu up to adulthood, though maybe on the small side. The rule of thumb is 2x the length of the tegu = length and 1x the length = with. So for a 4' tegu a 8' x 4' is good. They don't climb much when they are big so 3' is ok for height. If you go for smaller thats ok so long as they get out quite a bit.
