With rhacs, it's really a crapshoot whether you get a tame one or not. I've had ZERO success 'taming down' excitable geckos.. but all those were already adults when I got them.. whether or not that is a factor I don't know.

NONE of my geckos are ones I can trust to take my eyes off of, however about half of them are calm enough they'd never run off. The half that are good handlers just require fairly regular hand-walking. I can chill with them while watching TV, but I have to pay attention to them. Typing on a computer with one of them is probably out of the question.

My one gargoyle gecko is as calm as my calmest crestie, and is an absoulte peach. There is constant hand-walking during handling for the most part, but the gecko seems pretty darn relaxed.

The differences in personality between cresties and gargs is minute enough that I'd say get whichever one you prefer the looks of.
