Iv only owned dwarf roborovskis, But from my experience and what I have heard dwarfs make great pets to, they just tend to be a bit more spunky and can be a bit more difficult to handle due to this nature. Some will always be skittish and some Im sure could bind to you fairly well. Dwarfs seems really independent to me, so that nature I think makes them less cuddlier then Syrians. But if you have the room and time to care for some then go rescue some dwarf hams!
There is information about there here on HC so feel free to read up on them, or else do some Goggle searching
