The nice thing about Leatherback Baloth and Steel Leaf Champion is that they aren't really fighting for the same position in a deck as the other fatties you mentioned - at three mana, they're practically still early-game plays!
As for the BIG boys, I'd prioritize those who are well-defended: in your case, Plated Crusher and Vorapede. After all, it's no fun to build up to your big finisher only to have it undone by a two mana kill spell. Terra Stomper and Cloudthresher are both good enough to run maindeck but they might be more comfortable fits in a sideboard - versus a control deck or flying-heavy deck, for instance.

Skarg goliath would be wonderful as a 1 or 2 of, the blood rush on an unblocked or trampling creature will end a lot of games. That aside, leatherback, steel leaf, and vorapede are definitely your best options. They give the biggest bang for your buck. Also if you can, try to get your hands on some draw spells. Green can run out of gas fast if you aren't drawing cards. Harmonize , Guardian Project , or Beast Whisperer can be good.
