Where do you begin?

So I've grown CPs in the past and this summer I decided to take a leap and step up my game in terms of amount of plants, variety and growing from cuttings/seeds.

I have 4 types of seeds to plant:
Drosera Capensis 'Red'
Drosera Linearis
S. purpurea ssp. Purpurea
S. lucophylla

I know I need to stratify the D. Linearis, but should I do the same for the others? Best media to use peat, perlite, lfsm, a mix? I have no lfsm but plenty of everything else as I make my own mixes for CPs, orchids, cacti, etc... I have two 144 pod trays with humidity domes I planned on using for germination.

Just want to make sure I take the dive with the best chances starting out.

They all need strat except the capensis. 50:50 Peat/sand or peat/perlite will work great for all of them.

What I assumed, thanks!
