Here and elsewhere see a lot of people post what is a easy first breed or what breed is right for me.
My personal feeling are there are no hard or easy breeds, that there are breeds that fit a person.
Yes a lot have great success with rescues fitting what they want or shaping them into there perfect dog.
All dogs if there my cup of tea or not I feel are perfect given the right home.
I personally love Mastiffs and Saints. Though I have had both and equally love both I will now always have Mastiff due to less shedding and the more guarding nature of the Mastiff.
While Mastiffs are a huge dog as long as you walk them "Every day" there fine with basicly any size house or apartment. There for me easy, brush twice a week, walk in the morning before work and after work.
There generally people, dog and animal friendly. (You Must socialize them for this.)
Downside they drool, snore so loud they can vibrate the floor, and fart.
They can be 100lb to 250lbs know a 245 and a 265lb Mastiff that at that size are trim and fit, though those are rare.
There so big they can hurt small children just by knocking them down, or flopping on a leg or arm of a child.
So while they work for me, yep they can be the last choice for some.
So what your fit and why?
