Mike, that's an impressive list! (Edited to add: Thank you for this thread - love Conifers!)

I can't access our list right now, but offhand a few of our favorites:

Abies fraseri 'Prostrata'
Cedrus atlantica 'Glauca Pendula'
Cedrus deodora
Chamaecyparis 'Boulevard'
Chamaecyparis 'Crispii'
Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Heatherbun'
Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Red Star'
Cryptomeria japonica 'Sekkan Sugi'
Cypressus arizonica 'Blue Ice'
Cypressus arizonica 'Golden Pyramid'
Juniperus conferta 'Blue Mist'
Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone'
Juniperus scopulorum 'Skyrocket' and 'Moonglow'
Metasequoia glyptostroboides
Metasequoia glyptostroboides 'Ogon'
Pinus densiflora 'Oculus-Draconis' - Dragon Eye Pine
Pinus strobus 'Pendula'
Sciadopitys verticillata - Japanese Umbrella Pine

Although alot of these are planted in our gardens surrounding the house, we've started a small 'arboretum' to highlight some of our favorites. Cryptomeria 'Sekkan Sugi' and Juniperus 'Gold Cone' are the real beauties in that bed. We're recently purchased Taxodium distichum 'Pendula' and looking forward to adding this to the landscape.

Here's a photo - one of our Abies "swallowing" its neighbor!
