Here was my first guess: "I believe the Golden Buffs are a sexlink cross between reds and white Wys of some sort. Similar to (if not in fact) Golden Comets, Cinnamon Queens and so on.
This is from the Meyer Hatchery site:
The leader in the brown egg market, this strain's quiet temperament and large eggs makes them everyone's favorites. Pullets, with their soft buff-red color, mature at about 4 pounds. Males grow to a larger size for nice fryers and are white with dark wing, neck, and tail feathers. (Best egg layer)Also known as Golden Comet, Cinnamon Queen, Boven Brown, Red Sex Link. The Pullets are fully vaccinated, beak trimmed, floor raised and ready to move into your laying barn.
As hybrids, they are going to be vigorous and sprightly in the first generation, and Meyer calls them quiet in temperament. A-lorps, in my experience are anything but aggressive. While most know that I am baffled over concerns of "aggression," "friendliness" and so on, if it bothers you, I'd select the A-lorp. You can hardly go wrong with them.
Honestly, you'll likely do well with either.
