    Niger and Picasso together would be fine together... try to get a larger niger than picasso. The Nigers are less aggressive than the Picasso. I think Angels get fairly large.. eventually too large for an 80 gal? Percula I think should be fine.
    Say somethin you know they might attack you for.

    I'd stay away from the Rock Beauty. Very difficult to keep alive long term. Many of them just seem to die suddenly.
    It aint' pretty being easy.

    Any of those combos would be fine. Don't mix maroons with any other clowns, which I see you didn't plan to do. I'd go with the hippo-perc-flame-picasso. Getting a mated pair of maroons could be a little tricky, and getting two maroons and trying to mate them is even trickier. Flame is a good choice, they are hardy and not shy.
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but it's the thought that counts.

    for a beginner i would suggest the following;
    picasso
    niger (never had luck with these)
    maroon clown

    all others listed either grow to large/active or difficult.

    good luck
    ;)
