Limited experience here, but I think size and sex are more important than breed. Larger rabbits generally seem more laid back, while the smaller rabbits can be sort of skittery. Have had better pets with males, females can get grouchy, but you can't keep adult males together easily. Of course individual temperaments vary, so I would look for adults that are unafraid and show interest in people, regardless of breed. Humane society and other animal shelters are good places to look. A bonded pair would be best. They can be neutered too.
Our house bun is a mini rex. He's a sweet boy, but doesn't enjoy being handled. Chicory is over 8 yrs now and doing great.
Never met a Dutch bunny I didn't like. That was the first rabbit I ever got to pet. The little girl that lived across the road from us had a black and white one and we would play with it. I was only 3, but I remember.
I loved our Flemish, very much like a dog and he liked being pet. They are not heat tolerant though, and cannot be kept on wire. If they are scared or angry, they could hurt a child. The mama of our Sherman (the Tank) apparently fought off a raccoon defending her litter. Sherm was one of that litter.
Now you can sleep!
