I plan on dirting and capping my tank in a few days, a I need to buy plants more importantly what are some good plants to start out with that I'll want to keep long term?

I have a t5 ho set up that can run 2, 4 or 6 light mode
This is for a 110 gal dirt/capped with safe t sorb substrate.

I went to an auction today and bought
Horn Wood

Najas Grass

Anubias Nanna

Java Moss

Java fern


Then I saw this ad on a local forum, would these make a good start for my 110g low tech dirted tank?

"I have a ton of Wisteria, and Watersprite. Also Willow Hygro, Temple plant, and Alt reinekii. I also have a couple small Amz. Swords, and one Anubias unknown type it was a hitch hiker with a plant order. And finally one Anubias Nana (Petite)
All plants have good root systems( not just clippings) All stem plants $1 per plant, unknown anubias $3 Nana Petite $4 Swords $3.50
Priority shipping is $7 in the U.S."

Sound like a good start? I know I need a lot of plants to get started right?
