Your missing a few of the more esoteric variants, and I think it's important to understand that even all PLA or ABS is not the same for example.

There is a soft PLA which is almost rubbery, Ultimaker in Germany sell it, I really want to try this but I haven't found a source in the States.
There is a "transparent ABS" which seems to have become readily available in the last few months.
There are "conductive" filaments that contain what I assume are carbon particles and aren't very conductive.
There are also formulations for high impact variants of ABS where I assume they increase the styrene content.

People have also printed with HDPE, but it's apparently difficult to work with.

Thanks Polygonhell, I knew about the conductive filaments and left them out as well as glow in the dark. I will likely do a follow up to include those from your list and any others that surface.

I got a sample of ultimachines regular filament , it is quite brittle compared to the filament I just get off ebay
