I agree on most of those.  However, both penny royal and violets can  be 
harmful to animals.  Tarragon and tansy can also be invasive though not  as badly 
as mints.  I well remember planting some tarragon in my front herb  garden and 
two weeks later finding it had climbed the front stairs, across the  landing, 
up the side window and was literally leaning against the  doorbell.  Pushy 
thing that tarragon. (g)     Chives  don't spread like mint but never let its 
flowers go to seed.  I did that  one year through being sick and now my side 
front yard is mostly chives.   Perfumes the entire neighborhood every time it is 
mowed, brings tears to your  eyes.
 
Sometimes plants can be too hardy and care free.
