That is certainly a list of bikes.

Get the bike that's the most like you want in the first place - you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Drop bar bikes are typically already an inch or two shorter in the top tube than hybrids or MTB's, because their handlebars go further forward; and so when converted need very little sweep. Vice versa is also true, that's why if you look at the converted MTB thread in the C&V forum you see a lot of tall stems on small frames or short-reach stems on right-size frames.
