I'd have to say a cat. Cleaning a litter box and putting food out daily is easier than keeping a fish tank going, and their natural cleanliness is usually very compatible with human cohabitation. You can also leave the house for 1-2 days without cause for concern, since you can leave extra food out and trust the cat to not overeat.
Cats are somewhat aloof but I enjoy the company of our cat. We also have a dog, which is much more akin to having a toddler around all the time, completely incapable of caring for itself or making good decisions, but also very loving. Dogs are definitely NOT the easiest pet.

Cats - they're so independent. They can even catch their own food, if need be.
