Considering Camponotus pennsylvanicus is a North American ant, you will need to cross it off the list.
Formica fusca is a very active and fast growing ant. How large is the GDP between the glass?

In that case, I would recommend Formica fusca. Camponotus generally don't do very well in dirt setups.
Formica fusca should be flying soon in the UK, so keep an eye out for large queens.

On my main website I have a page with the most common species in the UK on it, including Formica fusca. There is also a sheet you can download from that page that gives most, if not all, of the species found in the UK. You can find the page by clicking here.

Hmm I dunno. I don't want to say that you guys are wrong but I think the fusca queen would be rather pushed for space in one of those...

After all that I have decided to start with I will move my L. Niger into the new set and then buy a ytong nest set next month for something else.
Any advice on how to get my L.niger from that stupid ant o sphere into the set?

Myrmica Rubra will do Better than Camponotus in A slim line nest and Myrmica Rubra are Quite easy to keep, due to the fact they take a load of protein but kill it swiftly.
The choice is yours >.<
