IMHO, all the plants are the same. They still do a great job naturally however having one which can last long and easy to maintain without messing the sump is a good choice.

I have tried a planted sump a few times...

Water hyacincth is a great floating plant...like a parasite, it grows soooo fast, but if you don't have adequate lighting it'll rot... the stuff is known to grow so fast it clogs waterways costing millions to remove, illegal in a lot of places due to their invasiveness.

I just have two 30 watt plant bulbs over my sump. Seems to be enough light because I trim back the plants every couple weekes or so.
