Here's a page that might help (still working on it though):
http://www.growsundews.com/sundew_trapping_speeds.html

I think you might want to stick with D. burmannii (which is pretty much the second fastest sundew) or one of the South African sundews like D. admirabilis because D. glanduligera can be somewhat tough to grow unless its fed all the time.

For more info on these 2 sundews, here are some links:

Not sure if this is allowed, but I think it's ok since Matt doesn't sell them in his store (http://www.flytrapcare.com/store/sundews.html)

You can find the burmannii here for actually a very decent price compared to what they normally sell everything else for: http://www.californiacarnivores.com/dbu ... otted.aspx

Hah, it's funny how that stupid rule on terraforums of not mentioning vendors has made many CPers trepidatious to post other vendors names here.

You can post anything you want about other vendors as long as it's within context and helpful to the original poster (not obvious advertising).
