So many things to consider.
If you're starting with only a few bantams and you don't want to risk rooster overload, My Pet Chicken sells sexed bantams so you can purchase just the breeds and sexes you want.
Silkies and cochins are usually pretty gentle. And Easter Eggers seem to be fairly hardy in both heat and cold. I had various bantams as a child, and we never had rooster problems. The hens raised their own chicks.
Good luck whatever you decide.
