I would add a few things to your list, and strike some others.

Tet - I would look at Snarky from Dan Hanson. It is relatively new so it might be somewhat more expensive, but I would add that before Strikingly Dramatic. SD, while it has survived for me, does little of the cristating. Another to think about is Bonibrae Inner Demons. I think (and this is purely opinion/speculation) the teeth it can throw in the throat would be very advantageous to the form you would like. I grow Mr. Tumnus - I have had it since introduction and have made exactly 0 seeds with it. You might ask others like Rich if he has had any luck.

Dips... Bee's Bettie Sue and Bees Bob Baker are nice but around here they are very very inconsistent. I would add something like Wooster Mindcraft over either of them. Shaggy Pumpkin is very nice - not always very shaggy, but I've been using it to try and add size back into some of the other lines.
