I am allergic to a lot of cats too. Let me just give you one piece of advice that I hold above all others: ZYRTEC. A type of allergy pill...you can look it up on google, probably. But the stuff works wonders for me, always has. You might want to check it out.
As for cat hair, etc...it isn't the hair, it's the saliva and dander...the cat's hair holds the saliva and oils from the skin, and thus the allergens can spread more easily with a cat that has hair. That's not to say Sphinx cats don't produce allergens, but it doesn't spread as much.
Breeds of cats...I think it differs for everyone. I'm not entirely sure on why, but certain types/patterns/colors of cat fur bother me less than others. Tortoiseshells rarely give me any reaction whatsoever. My cat Lucy is a dilute tortoiseshell, and her hair doesn't really bother me. If you visit with a lot of cats, go to a shelter, etc...pet the cats there...you'll eventually figure out which ones bother you. (Yes, that means you'll occasionally get bad reactions.)
Also, I just want to say that if English isn't your first language, you are damn good at it.
