I personally have ever owned strays, so I cannot tell you about owning certain breeds. My good friend in middle school had a raggie and I have never met another cat like her. She is the most mellow animal, even when she way young. You touch her and she totally goes limp, so much fun.
As for getting the same kind as your previous love, I think it depends. Would you do it because you know you like that variety of cat or are you hoping they will be your lost baby? Many years from now when my beloved Odin goes, I would love to have another male as they tend to be affectionate when fixed and I would want a cat like him. I could not however, get another pure white cat, because I would always be a little heart broken when they weren't Odin, no matter how wonderful.
One thing that has made it easier is that although every other cat I have ever had are tabbies, as strays they all look so totally different. Maybe a Maine coon with different markings and eyes would work.
