I wanted to know how hard they are to keep and if a beginner who has experience with a blue tongued skink could keep these. I really want leaf tails, but i think i could use these to gain experience.

If you need to gain experience, get a Rhacodactylus. Eurydactylodes are very simple and easy to keep, but because of their small size they can be delicate at times. I would not say they are a beginner gecko by any means.

Are there any other common types of rhacs? i dont like cresteds very much, and i only sort of like gargoyles. Or how about cat geckos, are they good for beginners?

felinus are another delicate species.

As an alternative to Cresties or Gargoyle's you could try Mossy gecko's (Rhacodactylus Chahoua Chahoua) these are similiar to look after as cresties and gargoyle's and give you some experience before moving onto leaf tails or alternatively you could try one of the giant species of day gecko (Phelsuma madagascariensis grandis) or (Phelsuma madagascariensis kochi) these require some more thought higher humidity and are a look not touch gecko but overall are not difficult to keep , but again make sure you head towards one of the giant species as many of the Phelsumas are very delicate due to size

Hope this helps you

chahoua chahoua?

If a cool temp/high humidity species is your final goal, then give Goniurosaurus a try. I find them to be really easy to keep and they would be a good stepping stone towards felinus or Uroplatus.

Grandis/kochi are a terrible choice if you're trying to work towards delicate geckos. They both will tolerate low humidity levels for long periods of time and need to be kept fairly hot. Don't get me wrong, I love both species, but not the right direction.

Try tokays. Easy to care for and tough as nails. Not the most friendly of beasts. But they have great personalities, they get large, and don't have any crazy requirements. Really, most of the gekko are fun to work with and a good place to start.

If you would like to interact with your animal more and are partial to your fingers then don't get a tokay lol.
