Small Animal For Me? Rabbits, Guinea, Sugar Glider, Chinchilla?

I have a cage that stands about four feet tall. Attention is NOT a problem. I love animals. I have been loving them since the first one I saw when I was little. I’m 14, btw. But I’m 14 w/ a lot of responsibility. I want a small animal really bad since I am getting my own room because my sister is going to college soon! We (mom, dad, sister & I) have a dog & two cats already, but I want this animal to be mine. It’ll be going into my room. I don’t want anything too expensive, but I want it to be worth my money. Of course all animals are worth it.
ANYWHO, I am deciding between a Teddy Guinea Pig, Cinnamon Rabbit, Dwarf Hotot Rabbit, French Lop Rabbit, Holland Lop Rabbits, Jersey Wooly Rabbit, Netherland Dwarf Rabbit, Sugar Glider and Chinchilla.
A Lot of choices. I know. I am doing re search because I want this animal to feel secure and safe at all times. So I want to know about what kind I am getting so there will be no need to panic in emergency. Do you know anything- from personal experience- about what I named above?
Thanks so much!
I don’t know if the links will work, but here is what they look like!

PS: I want a furry animal, but one that’ll stay kinda small. Like a long-haired dwarf one.

    I have 2 holland lop rabbits and they are the best pet ever. We got them when they were little. They love to snuggle. If you want a pet that loves to snuggle and watch tv with you that is the pet to get. They also like running outside in the grass.

    How about a ferret? They are very playful and stay small. They aren’t too expensive, around $100.

    I’d go with a chinchilla because for one thing i have no idea what a sugar slider is lol, and rabbits chew on wires. guinea pig stink after a while no matter how many times you clean the cage and they cry constantly…lol so a yea a chinchilla they just like to walk around and look at you. btw look at this it’s so cute

    Uhhh, I would definitly not keep a bunny in my room. Yeahh there soft fluffly and loveable, but there poop stinks. It’s a smell between Rotting fish and Stail Milk. :S
    I used to have Holland rabbits Outside in a small shed for breeding but The weekly clean out was TERRIBLE.!
    I would suggest getting a PAIR of guinea Pigs, They can have weird talents like whislting. You Would need a pair ’cause they are highly social. (2 Is better then 1).
    Good Luck. :)

    I have a pet Chinchilla.
    I’ve had him for 5 years now and I love him.
    Chinchilla’s are very hyper little guys. but also they take at least a month to body with you to fully be comfortable with you. They chew A LOT & poop A LOT
    you cannot chase them you have to walk towards them or for my case I just shake a bag of treats and my little guy comes running to me.
    Chinchilla’s I would say are like little kids needs a lot of attention
