I like duckweed because of how easy it is but I think my favourite is salvinia minima.

Honestly, I've been looking into Water Lettuce because of its root structure. I believe my guppies and (planned) shrimp will like it. Other than that? I've considered Water Hyacinth but I think I'd have to remove my lid if I went for it.
There's always the option of letting Hornwort or Anacharis float as opposed to anchoring or planting it.
It's also possible to grow land plants with their roots in the water. If you don't mind something sticking out above your tank you could grow strawberries. Potato can also be grown but the plant gets kinda big and the potato can rot.
Looking up Salvinia Minima it looks like quite the nice choice as well.

Do not get duckweed unless you want it all over anything that comes out of the tank.

I love the way hornwort looks . You can have it float or plant it ! Grows good either way . But yes duckweed does get annoying very quickly , especially during water changes.
