Colt will have very nice swaying movement. Will double in size over the year. You can frag easily to thin out. Sinularia also has nice movement. Doesn't spread like the colt but grows. Finger leather is rather still and won't sway. None of these spread like xenia. All three are in the FTS I posted.
 
here is my tank. I have everything that you mentioned that you want to get in this tank. You have to think about how the coral is going to grow to decide where you want to put it. Definitely keep things like green star polyps on their own rock or I have mine just growing on the sand. Also some zoas grow a lot faster than others and can take over a rock so research which zoas you get. Some of the leathers like toadstool corals will get really big and can shade the corals below them so you need to take that into consideration

Love your tank! And appreciate the advice, yeah now that I've researched a bit more, I'm planning a toadstool and a few leathers to sit in the tops of my main structures, and I'll plan on lower light coral like mushrooms below them, and then an island for GSP and some zoas
