I only saw 3 plants from your list that grow quickly.
Hygro Ploysperma
Cerato. demersum - hornwort
Juncus Repens

The others are low light but grow slowly.

Some fast growers, low light are Bacopas, Ludwigia repens 'rubin', rotala roundifolia As your tank ages you can take these out if you don't like them and leave your slower growers.

StuckinTexas, I have pulled a bunch of Hygrophila from my 20 G and 15 G tanks and need to get rid of them this weekend FREE for pickup. Also have a few stems of Bacopa Carolinia. PM me.
