Sedum Plants

Does anyone have many varieties of sedum?
This is the one of the best plant groups I have with every one great for stem and leaf cuttings. The local garden centre has so many different sorts but they don't distinguish between them so I don't have names for them all.
I have a Spectabile variety which is superb for the bees and butterflies in late summer - Hot Stuff I think and every leaf cutting takes without fail. These form tidy small clumps unlike the taller Autumn Joy.
Also have the prolific Purple Emperor.
Similarly, the low ground cover varieties are so varied and equally good for new plants. I have Angelina Rupestre, Blue Carpet, Spurium, Voodoo and a few more I don't have names for.
Are there any others you would recommend?

I have quite a few scattered around the garden. I also have an 'insect hotel' with a living roof that I planted with sedums.
One of my favourite types are Stonecrops - with a particular favourite being 'Dragon's Blood'0
