For wintersowing? Geez, understand I've been wintersowing for 7 years, this will be year 8. Some years I've done as many as 80 some jugs, but some favorites would be
Perennials
rudbeckia hirtas
coneflowers (echinacea)
gaillardia
columbine
digitalis
verbascum
butterfly weed (A. tuberosa)
lobelia cardinalis
maltese cross
salvia
snapdragons

Hardy annuals
bachelor buttons
poppies

Annuals
alyssum
petunia
tomatoes
zinnias
marigolds
nasturtium
salvia

I've tried lots of others. Any specific questions?

My best recommendations would be
Sow perennials and hardy annuals in winter, tenders in spring, or close to spring. Protect tender seedlings frost late frost.
Use large containers, soil 3" or deeper, allow for headroom
Maintain moisture and Adequate drainage.
