I'm interested to see how you go with the HC, you need alot of light and C02 to get a good carpet of that going. It also grows best in ADA substrate...
I'm using ADA, I have C02 & think my lights will be enough. Plan also to start off the tank waterless, as per a Tom Barr thread elsewhere, as a sort of terrarium. No messy individual planting of HC that way - you just lay it on top & in a week or two it has taken root. I've been cultivating my batch of HC this way since Oct 07. This may foil my plan of water logging my driftwood though, as it will have time to dry out before water is added to tank. All but 2 smaller pieces now sink.
