Types of chocobo: makes no preference.
Color of chocobo: makes no preference.
stats of chocobo: most important stat to raise is Discernment. Secondary stats include Receptivty (it will rise as you use care plans that focus on Discernment) and Endurance (unless you're going straight basic care this is very difficult on bring up; your best bet early on is inherit some of it).
Feed: Zegham Carrots (to raise discernment) and Azouph Greens (to raise affection). The feed can be rather high, so consider gardening wildgrass seeds to cut costs if you got the mules and the time. Have medical greens on standby to use when needed.
The chocobos that bred the egg should have high discernment and/or high endurance. So your breeding plan should be Sports or Hiking Plan if you are doing this yourself.
Where to raise chocobo: Windurst. The story that leads to key item that teaches Bore comes out of Windurst, and you'll get your second key item that teaches Burrow (comes out of Bastok) when your chick hits adolscent stage (but more likely adult stage). This chocobo can be raised elsewhere but it will take considerably longer to get both key items.
Now comes about care plans. When it is in egg form you only get basic care. Just watch over your chocobo several times per day. Once your chocobo hatches into a chick, you can use basic care or listen to music. Try to get affection status to parent ASAP, this is where Azouph Greens come into play (it only takes 1 of them to fill up a chick). Take your chocobo on daily walks until energy bar runs low.
At adolscent stage it should be performing in front of children, listening to music, or basic care. Take it on a daily walk, and use tell a story on the two key items if you got them. This is best time to use zegham carrots, though azouph greens should be used from time to time.
At adult stage, you should be using care plans that focus on discernment (digging/plays). If chocobo hits First-Class in discernment, your care plan should change to Basic Care until retirement. If you use the digging or exhibiting to public care plan, you will need to take it on long walks and feed azouph greens every day to counteract the loss of affection. Reregister your chocobo for riding as their skills go up and/or learns a new ability.
When it is time for breeding (or retirement), you should look for a chocobo that has an high endurance stat or an high discernment stat.
My second chocobo is a success story on this strategy, and I'm excited about having it ready for breeding. It has Burrow and Bore abilities: it kicks in about 50% of the time when I take it out for digging every day. It has also did 12 successful digs in a row in rolanberry and once had a streak of pulling up tree cuttings, ice ore, and reishi mushroom on consectutive digs in batallia.
