I think breeding spider is absolutely fine as long as you are careful what you breed it with, and prepared to keep a baby as a pet IF you get a hatchling that happens to have a severe case of wobble, and of course disclosing possible wobble issues properly to buyers.
I absolutely adore my spiders, and I've never experienced a severe wobble problem.
Things to avoid breeding with spider are sable, champagne, woma, and hidden gene woma. Blackhead + spider doesn't have problems, but I would avoid it because they cancel each other out and don't give an appealing look. Spider + spider is not good either because you will get 25% of your eggs that fail to hatch or the hatchling will die almost immediately after birth.
Albino isn't something I would invest in unless you just happen to really like it. For the trouble of dealing with a recessive, it's just not worth the small amount you get for selling them. Some similar looking recessive morphs that sell better are Lavender Albino, Candy, and Ultramel. Banana or Coral Glow are incomplete dominant, look similar to Albino, and sell extremely well, so even better. Doing a double recessive project as a beginner is not a good idea in the first place, so Banana or Coral Glow would be much better to work with Clown in the project.
If it were me, spider or not, I probably wouldn't breed that male with that female. Picking up a male with a lot of morphs to get really good results is a better idea, and using cheap females with just a couple of genes. If you could save up for and find a male Banana/CG Enchi Clown maybe with a few other morphs, that would be a great idea.
