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?
