Plants?

So this weekend I am going to a LFS in Boston (about 2 hrs from where I live), this store has the greatest selection of Plants I have ever seen. I need plants for all my tanks, like I saved for about a month for this, and have like a hundred bucks to spend. What plants do you suggest that also would do well with cichlids. In my Frontosa tank, I am not worried, they really do not touch plants that often same with Caesar's tank.

If the leaves are thick and tough they should be ok, avoid the plants with soft delicate leaves.
java fern, java moss, sword plants, anubius.... those should all do fine with them. Just with swords get the big ones, they will get nibbled on some but they tend to be swift growers so they should hold up well.

Good rooted plants are needed or your arms will be in the water all day long replanting. I think swords are your best bet.
