Water Dragon or Bearded Dragon for us?

Question:
Hi,
With my Boyfriend we are planning to get 1 of these animals. We took a look around of the requirements but we still not able to decide between them.
I heard that the Bearded dragons ... have a really good temper so you can handle them easily daily for longer times and i even read that they require the attention of the keepers.
So whats up with the Water dragon. Does they have this awesome temper too or they are more on the really wild-side of the wildlife?
Answer:
Water dragons are flightier and more active, require a HUGE arboreal cage, at least six long and four tall. Their set up in complex, they need a pool to soak in and a dry area, and they often get "snout rub" from rubbing their nose off glass.
Bearded dragons are all around easier and friendlier. Not quite as bright or impressive as waters, but still an impressive lizard and a better starter, also very cute, friendly and personable.
