What species of corydoras should I collect?

Hi forum,
I’m hoping to know your take on which species are worth keeping and attempt at breeding.
There are a few species available right now at my LFS. Here’s the following selections:
Cw045
Crypticus
Sodalis
Elegans
Melanotaenia
Nanus
Eques
I’m currently very interested in CW045 because of its robust build and black coloring, however, the price tag on them is about $32. So I could only get a trio.
I live in Bangkok and cory is not that popular so there are only a handful of importers which made for a somewhat steep pricing. Instead, should I wait for more species to come? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this matter.
