The following are some plants that are recommended for Rock and Trough gardens, and Living or Green roof gardens.

Sedum is the large stonecrop genus of the Crassulaceae, representing about 400 species of leaf succulents, found throughout the northern hemisphere, varying from annual and creeping herbs to shrubs.

Always make sure the plants you are planting are not on the invasive plant list. Invasive plants tend to crowd out native plants which is not a good thing. 

I know that 'ice plant' is considered invasive in Cal as it crowds out native plants by making dense colonies along the coastal bluffs.  So I looked up the names on the web.  What you listed seems to be okay, and I don't know if the invasive plant is a bad guy for our climate anyway, but...you probably knew all this anyway.   carpobrotus is the invasive in CA and maybe AZ delosperma is the one you listed... Barb Reitz,Cornell Gardener
