The two larger plants are Bromeliads. The smaller spiky one looks like a Tilandsia, another epiphyte in the Bromeliaceae family. The other flat meaty leaves on right and left front side look like Christmas Cactus plants. If so; don't think a tropical cactus will flourish in the typical high humidity and dampness of a Dart frog vivarium.
When comparing same size enclosures, the main difference between ExoTerra and Zoo Med are the front access. ExoTerra give you 2 doors that meet in middle and Zoo Med gives you one larger door. Myself prefer the dual doors; but that is personal choice. In regards to size; would recommend get an 18x18x18 for terrestrial species and 18x18x24 for those that like to climb a little. In that size enclosure you would be able to create a false bottom/drainage layer, back or even side walls and still having ample space to keep a trio or group of a desired frog species. The only mod you will need will be to use either plastic or glass panes to cover the ventilation screens in order to maintain high humidity levels.
You can transfer all the plants and soil to the new set-up and add new material (ABG soil, etc.) as required. Your frog will be slightly stressed by the move; but it should recover in couple days. Recommend leave frog alone in current set-up while you build new one. You can remove part of the present substrate to new enclosure to seed soil janitors. Then when all done; move and replant plants and transfer remaining soil before moving frog. Good luck!
