First off, I dont keep pings so cant suggest them for you. Although somethings telling me they wouldnt do well outdoors? Do not keep cephs in a bog.

D. rotundifolia
Venus Flytrap
Darlingtonia

Sarrs, you will basically need any hardy ones. On a store they sell hardy plants, well on most ive been on anyway. They will be labled out, if not why not ask the owner for 6-8 hardy plants. Im sure he/she can prepare a nice mix for you.

ping leaves dry very quickly. mine prefer the indoor light setup (they currently flowering) its a ping sethos.

sarras, depends on what type you like.
gibbosa is nice, alata, leuco.. S.minor has a gorgeous pitcher hood.
