A bichon is a lot of grooming. Boston terrier may not do well with exercise especially if you live in a hot and/or humid climate. Rat terriers are easily distracted and can be trained off leash but many end up in shelters because they are great escape artists. Shetland sheep dogs are a herding breed and like to have a job, be busy. We had a schnauzer and he was a little difficult to housebreak and developed some bad habits when left alone during the day.
Of all the breeds listed, the golden retriever is probably your best bet. But that breed comes up on a lot of searches because they are popular. I would look at a shelter for a young adult mixed breed dog. Or possibly a whippet or greyhound rescue. Although they are sight hounds, they can be trained off leash. They are happy couch potatoes as long as they get daily exercise.
