I basically agree with all this, except that the difference between EG & SBT cats can be overstated. EG cats are still cats, just (usually) not cuddly, more excitable, jumpier, etc. But in a way it doesn't really matter whether you're wiping up domestic or wildcat pee. Cats are cats, more or less. If you're tolerant of a wide range of domestic cat behaviors and not one of those people who gets upset when kitty pees on the couch, chances are you'll like an F1. Keeping an open mind about acceptable pet behaviors and building a good-sized outdoor enclosure will keep yourself and the cat happy (most spraying happens outside, thank heavens).
Anyway, if you really want to go through with this in the future you need the breeder to pull the kitten by two weeks (before his eyes have opened) and to socialize him around lots of people 24/7. People such as vets, children, friends, contractors, the cleaning lady, whoever might regularly visit your house. If you can, learn how to bottle feed and give vaccinations yourself so you can adopt the kitten as early as possible, 6-8 weeks would be best. (This part is different from SBTs: you want the breeder to socialize the kitten some but not to the point where kitty hates everyone except the breeder.) Raising an F1 that will tolerate different people and situations is possible, but it's going to be a full-time job for the first few months - even with the sweetest wildcat kitten imaginable.
