Re: What to add to my collection.
If you've narrowed it down to your top 3 and your S/O doesn't like hoggies. I'd go with the Dumerils. It's a win/win.

Hognose are tons of fun packed into some little bodies (especially males) but if your girl is uncomfortable it's best to respect her comfort level.
Although Hognose almost never actually strike (they bluff strike, mouth closed) and their delivery system is horrible (rear ranges, would basically have to latch on and chew for any actual venom delivery) it's probably best to err on the side of caution.

I agree with the general sentiment of respecting your girlfriend's wishes if she's really not comfortable with a hognose. With that said ... if you think she has room to be convinced, I can think of some helpfully endearing "ambassadors."
One of them is a little hoggie named Pissy, belonging to Exotics Lair on Youtube, who lives up to his name but really can't walk the walk to match the talk, LOL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlp4tSISnfE
Another is pretty much any video of a hognose melodramatically and insistently playing dead. Sometimes with voice-acting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-J0nwZz_fo
