It depends on what you are comparing at. It is not fair to compare a cheap and an expensive fish if they are different species.
I would recommend Betta channoides too. These guys are much more cheaper and imo more superior then Betta rubra in terms of colours.

Yup...i also think channoides look really good. Maybe can proceed to rubra after keeping channoides.

what about trying out betta splendens species ?
I agree...if you want to try Bettas, i think you should try taking care of betta splendens (Siamese fighting fish) first from a LFS. they are cheaper and therefore will not cost you much and your loss will not be too much if they die. C328 has some nice bettas which are nicer but still quite cheap... 2 - 10 dollars depending on the looks.
Hope this helps
It's quite difficult to get wild betta splendens now a days. Most of them are hybrids or show bettas.

Life is all about patience & perseverance,
Failure is just another new beginning
Kept a few species and all i can say is no real difference in keeping them. But if must say, then there're only 2 differences I noted. 1 is having been successful in breeding them and 2 is pricing. Otherwise all are easy to keep.
God will make a way, where there seems to be no way
i recomend betta splendens: halfmoon plakats because they are easy to care for due to short finnage
