Your apprehension is normal for someone who’s thinking about it carefully. I applaud you for that! Good dogs and challenging dogs come from several things - training, environment, breed and good breeding to name a few. Sounds like you know enough to find a good dog for you (the right breed from a good blood line and reputable breeder) and train it right. Getting a rescue is a noble and possibly less expensive thing. But it’s a crap shoot whether the dog is going to be good or not. Just be sure you have the right place for the breed and can afford care, including vet bills. Other than that you sound like you’ll be a great dog person.
