So you're planning a fish list and you want it for aptasia control? Am I understanding this right, you have aptasia already and you dont even have fish yet? Or you're planning on having aptaisa? Sounds pretty crazy to me either way. Why not get rid of it before adding fish by using peppermint shrimp or just do a very good job of quarantining everything you buy so that you dont have to deal with aptasia in the first place.
I've been fighting with aptasia for 4 years. The only perfect solution is to stop aptasia from ever establishing itself in your tank by quarantining.

Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to quarantine and keep things under control, aptasia will sneak in and appear in little nooks and cranies where you cannot reach them. Of course I am planning on having aptaisa. Not something I want, but I know it will happen.
As far as fish go, right now I have a little yellow-tailed blue damsel that I will catch when I am transferring stock from the 50 gal to the 90 gal. Not much sense in stressing him out for the sake of rushing fish. I don't really want to make alot of mistakes that are preventable, so I like to plan for the future.
