I have two recommendations for you:
1) Hardy Sedum: really any of these would do but Sedum spurium tends to spread very quickly.
2) Delosperma: You'll want to look for the hardier Delosperma. I highly recommend Delosperma cooperi and Delosperma nubigenum. These species tend to do better than hybrids or cultivars.
Make sure this spot gets 6 or so hours of sunlight a day, and isn't watered often, and succulents should do well here. As for soil, succulents like a gritty, well-draining soil. Adding mineral grit like fine gravel and/or raising the soil into mounded berms can help with drainage.
