Outside, none. In a greenhouse, preferably heated, the lettuce is worth a try, also the rocket.

The trouble in winter is always going to be light levels, and balancing heat and light (too much heat for the light level and you'll get leggy weak growth). You've mentioned using lights - I don't know if your avatar means that you already have the knowledge and experience of growing plants under artificial light ;-)
I have no direct experience but I understand that it can be expensive to get the light levels at daylight frequencies.

Ok im looking for people giving away seeds would love to try some new
ones and would not mind giving away some of mine. If so let me no thank

Best way would be to join your local gardening Club they always have
lots of people wanting to swap seeds.
