Of the 3, I would also go with the pac man frog.
If you want a pet you can handle I would go with a crested gecko. They are my favorite for first time reptile pet owners. You'll see them, you can handle them, they dance on the glass and they lick their eyeballs.

Go with the anole they are easy to keep and don't need a big cage; the only problem is paying for substrate, lighting, and crickets.

It's good to see a kindred spirit (homeschooled).

If you're limited in fundage, a single anole costs about $40 to set up.

Pac-Mans require about the same.

A single red-eye would cost you about $ 110 to set up. ($20 of this is the frog) a red-eye could live in a 10 gallon, which costs about $10, some plants and a vine, about $20, heating would be about $20,  2.0 Reptisun UVA/UVB costs about $30 with fixture, and that's really all you need for a red-eye. For entertainment, I would go with either the red-eye or the anole. Red-eyes are fairly active, but mostly at night. They may switch beds during the day, which will involve some jumping and climbing, but will soon go back to sleep. Night is another story, however. Climbing, swimming/soaking in water, jumping, catching crickets with tongue, and exploring is typical night activity for a red-eye. Anoles are diurnal, so you will probably see them more when they're awake. Both are arboreal and can live in a 10 gallon singly. Pac-Mans are interesting to watch eat, but not before. Typical day of Pac-Man: Morning: Sit. Noon: Ooh, crickets!! Just gota wait till they come to me!! Afternoon: Soaking in dish. Evening: Sit Night: Sleep. BORING!!!

I'd say a Brown Anole (Anolis carolinensis). They can become handleable with time.

Errr......Fastforward,I've kept ALOT of brown anoles and they hate being handled!They will bite your hand to oblivion.Green anoles are more handleable but that is just me and my experiance with Leaf and RainScale.

But that is just me.This is my personal list of easy lizards and frogs to take care of.

Lizards

1.Bearded Dragon

2.Leopard Gecko

3.Creasted Gecko

4.Green Anole

5.Brown Anole(Yes I said they are not handleable,but they are relitivley easy to care for.)

Frogs/Toads

1.Fowler's Toad

2.Pac-man frog

3.Green Treefrog

4.Cuban Treefrog(Only if you don't mind feeding it small frogs.)

5.Cane Toad(If you don't mind that it will get big.)

 Anoles are like icecream.They can be sweet but,will give you brain freeze with all their strange behaviors.

All is fair in love and war.-anonymous
