#4 is a Sempervivum of some kind. Not much to worry about with it, they're hardy just about everywhere, tough plants. #5 is graptopetalum paraguayense, aka Ghost Plant, also pretty easy but not hardy in the north. I'll let the succulent specialists chime in on the rest.
For winter care recommendations, we need to know what climate you're in.

Re: Need help with identy
The Ghost Plant should be ok there, barring any really unusual cold snap. Not sure what #1 and #2 are. #3 and #6 I would say are Echeverias, you're right on the borderline for hardiness with them. Good article about Echeverias that discusses their hardiness at Introduction to Echeverias- my personal experiences in Southern California.
#5 and 7, the one shown twice, I think might be a Pachyveria - a Pachyphytum x Echeveria hybrid. Hard to say how hardy it is.

1 is Echeveria 'Chroma'
3 is an Aeonium. Likely A. arboreum but I'd need to see it when it gets bigger to know for sure. If it forms a stem and branches heavily then that is the ID. Otherwise it is a different type of Aeonium.
Greenknight seems to be right about the rest of them as far as I can tell.
Most will get damaged or even die when you get a hard frost in the low 20s, which happens most winters at least once or twice in Sacramento. That being said, all of them will do fine if kept above freezing, so you don't need to make them houseplants or anything like that. Just put them somewhere this winter where you can protect them from freezing.

Re: Need help with identy
Of course #3 is an Aeonium - how did I miss that?
Still leaves #2 unidentified. I don't know - a Kalanchoe, maybe? I wouldn't count on it being hardy, unless somebody can more definitely ID it as a hardy species.

Re: Need help with identy
My 2 cents, some same as others have ID'd already:
1. Echeveria 'Chroma'
2. Sedum sieboldii
3. Aeonium (not arboreum)-hard to say which species at this point of growth
4. Sempervivum
5. xGrapto-something (not Graptopetalum paraguayense, but likely a parent)
6. an Echeveria, but too much light to ID, maybe not enough characteristic to differentiate from others
7. Echeveria (may be a named cultivar -Blue something? -seems I've seen it around quite a bit)
8. same pic as #6.
