Looks like Aventine and Warlord seem best suited to my needs.

I took a quick photo of the various metal Roman/Italian cavalry that I have in the lead mountain...



The variation in the horses is more apparent than the riders, particularly from above. I don't have any Victrix cavalry, so I popped a Roman infantryman in the lineup as a comparison. He is a bit larger than the metal cavalry but is similar heftwise so I am happy they work together.

Do you have any elephants? They'd be comparable lol

It looks like any cavalry except Victrix will do!  Thanks for doing this - really helpful.

Sorry to be the contrarian here.... but...

I think Victrix Republican Roman cavalry works very well with Agema infantry. Despite the 'they are giants' claims, once painted and based I fail to see them being out of proportions... two images equates 2000 words...
