Default All plants created equal?

I'm going to be setting up a mad huge .... very large tank system in
january, and I would like some input on good plants. They're all going to
be placed in a bottom tank that serves as a sump for the trickle filter
system I'm making. Right now I've got sickly high nitrate levels and from
what I've read, plants help take that down. So, I want to know if there are
any plants that are better than others at neutralizing nitrates and
phosphates. Is it just a matter of leaf surface area, or are there other
things I should know about as well?
TIA
