Portulacaria afra (baby jade, elephant bush, etc) do well as rafts as they throw roots pretty quickly from buried internodes. I tried a couple, found out they grow out of proportion if you start with the branches too close together (on the original branch you use to do the raft from) oops. I just nicked along the bottom of the branch (at each internode) I was using for a raft and buried the whole thing in the ground. I used a u shaped piece of wire like ahair pin to stablize it until it rooted (the smaller one I did).

I've not done it yet, but I bet a ficus would do a good raft (again, "easy" to root).....
