Succulent that Tolerates Full Sun and Full Shade?

Hello. I would like to fill up my flower bed with succulents. The flower bed is up against a south facing wall. However, the roof comes out quite a bit creating some weird sun/shade issues. For a period of a couple of months of the year no sun will reach this area although it is still quite hot and dry. Several other months of the year it will get full, very hot sun 6+ hours. Right now, it's getting sun from about 8 am to 2:00 pm. My question is if there are succulents that I can plant in ground that will survive these conditions? For example, what can I plant now that is fine with 6 hours of fun but won't die when the several months of full shade returns? Or would it just be best to use containers so I can move them around as needed? FYI, I just bought a Jade Hobbit, Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop', and a Blue Elf aloe, but I haven't decided where to plant them yet. Thanks.
