Whatever is your favorite.
Don't do it unless you have plenty of room and many years to wait for
desired results.

Bearing in mind Cereus-validu's admonition about space., one of the
easiest to grow from seed is the African Violet and making your own
crosses aren't difficult. Florist's Gloxinas are also realilively
easy.
I suggest you Google for the home page of the African Violet Society of
America and read all about growing these wonderful house plants from
seed.

Breeding Gesnerads from seed for fun and profit is not something recommended
for beginners, Hemorrhoid.
How about something easier, like daylilies?
