What type of light do you have? Good standbys with low light are ficus pumila and pothos or philodendron.
Slightly less generic (although I have all of the "generic" plants in my tanks) but just as bulletproof are the various Selaginella species. My personal favorite is uncinata, but I also want to get some S. kraussina 'aurea'. Various Fittonia species are nice additions to low light terraria.
Small Vrisea's are good broms for low light conditions. If you have slightly higher light, Neoregelias are great little broms with lots of color and substance. Really, if you check out www.peaceofthetropics.com, www.customecos.com, or www.fantasticfrogs.com, you'll get a good sense of what are good terrarium plants.
A quick visit to your local Lowe's to check out the Exotic Angel plants will give you a pretty good variety of plants that will likely do well in a terrarium as well. Beyond some of those listed above, the Maidenhair type ferns, lemon button ferns, and some others would do well in your terrarium also.
Best of luck,
