There is also ALS and others but one quickly gets lost in the alphabet soup. If you have HCT available then skip LS. The HCT is cmos but with the output fanout (i.e. drive) of TTL. It is also 10 times faster and uses less power than LS. You might not need the extra speed though as it might oscillate at VHF if the circuit is poorly designed.
