Those jigs listed above are all varieties of the skirted bass jig.  I would add to your list various hare/hair jigs, as well as, a variety of plain jig heads dressed with your choice of plastic.

Do not have skirts.

Hair is a skirt material that can be tied to all types of jig heads that rubber or silicone is used as a skirt.

There are hundreds of jig head types.

If you want to narrow down skirted jigs you really only need 3 to 4 head types.

The best all around to me is the Arkie head you can do a lot with it skip, swim, cast whatever you feel like. Next i would put a grass jig it's very weed less and easy to master, and it often produces. After I would put a football head this works best for fishing rocks and fishing deeper water. Next I would put a finesse jig just for when the fish are finicky. The other types of jigs chatter, swim jig I see more in the spinner bait category if a spinner bait is just a little to much or if the water is clear go with the swim jig. Same goes for under spins if 2 blades are to much throw the underspins. Now we get to jig heads, shakey head being a personal favorite I normally have a shakey head tied on its very reliable and easy to fish you always want to use a work with little to no salt this is because the tail will float and have more action. That's just how I break it down also if your looking at a good jig company I strongly suggest true south custom lures. Hope this helps.
