Dries for droppers

Since I still want to catch fish with nymphs from longer distances,
I'm thinking of starting to use droppers with dries (which is much
more acceptable). However, I'm not familiar with many good dry fly
patterns for this purpose. That is, those dries that float extremely
well. The only one I know is Goddard caddis.
What kind of patterns do you use?
In my limited experience, I've found that big foam flies (such as
the Club Sandwich or other hopper imitations) work well. Also,
Stimulators are good.
