Personally, I'd recommend female rats because they smell less. The smell is probably going to be your biggest problem. I'm sure two rats in a large enough cage with toys should be able to keep themselves occupied so their energy levels shouldn't matter too much. The more you handle them, the tamer they'll become so I wouldn't worry about them being too energetic to cope with.
