Isn't Tiger/Crane a Southern Style?
Don't believe I saw this on the list: Tsoi Li Hoi Fut, or Toy Li Haw Fut. Some add Hung or even Hung Ga, although most first generation masters (first in the US, that is) seem to draw a deep line between this art and either Choy Lay Fut or Hung Gar. At any rate, it's known mostly by Kung Fu San Soo, passed down by Grandmaster Jimmy H Woo (Chin Siu Dek).
For me, much easier and less controversial to call it as I learned it, Kung Fu San Soo.
