Regular 18mm:
A8-0
B14-0 (if I can't have a drilled-core B14-0 for some mamby-pamby safety reason, I'd take the pressed-core B8-0)
D8-0 (recreation of the 13n-sec 18mm Cox D that was filled almost to the case top)

Mini 13mm
1/2A3-0T
A10-0T
B4-0M (the old long Centuri mini-motor)

Ooh, yeah, let me change my vote. I want to drop the A8-0 in favor of that D8-0.

I loved the old B4. Those would be nice and a stout C or D18

Perhaps your Quest for a long mini B will soon be over?

That 13mm B looks promising.
That would be great as a booster in a fire-and-forget Estes Beta

An Estes mini is 45mm long, and these Quest/China B2-3T's are 68mm, about the length of a standard motor. They would hang out the back of the booster a good 20mm. Nose weight would be mandatory, and it still might not be stable. Sounds like fun.

Every now-'n-again a flight profile (tail-heavy) resembling a bottle rocket with the stick busticated-off is interesting.

It *is* tough to narrow down, and since you stipulated "mini" and "regular", I won't put an A5-0S in the list, though it would be otherwise:

1/2A3-0T
A3-0T
A8-0
