Is there a matrix out there that shows: Could be named..."types of diodes & operating parameters"

a- The top guru favorite 5 or 6 red LD cans and what drives / readers that they can be harvested from?
b- The voltage and current requirements (ranges) for each of the above said diodes
c- A matrix showing recommended operating currents for short life, long life, & extended life?
d- any other important information suggestions for driver circuit set up
e- battery suggestions for operation of each of said LD's (i understand there are a lot of variables here)

I would leave out heat sinks or host because they are too varied and many. This might be a very helpful sticky matrix. I would do it but I do not have the knowledge or experience to compile such critical data. If you think this is a bad idea tell me to drop it.
