In my opinion, BTA's will be fine for what you're looking for. Of the hosting species of anemone they are possibly the least demanding.
Carpets need to be a careful choice. For one, saddle carpets (S. haddoni) are fish eaters. Secondly, they can be fussy.
With the possible exception of sebae anemones (H. crispa) none of the natural symbionts for A. percula or A. ocellaris are ideal "first anemone" choices because they are high-needs, high-maintenance, and exceptionally large, and tend to have dismal survival records in captivity. It can be done, but meeting their needs must be a high priority.
