Your list is good, but some other ones can be added to this list, for example the great Parhian king Mithradates the Great, or alongside Ariobarzanes, another Persian hero Batis who bravely fought against Alexander in Gaza, there were also some great Iranian heroes after Islam, such as Mardavij, Ismail Samani, Yaqub Leys, ... before Achaemenid, the great Median king Cyaxares can be there too, also some other Sassanid generals like Shahin and Shahrbaraz and etc.

What about Bobak, who fought the guerilla war against the arabs when they invaded Iran?
My father always told me stories about him when I was young, cant find anything written about him.
EDIT : Just found the info on him , he was Babak Khorramdin.

You can read here about Mardonius, I like this part of the article:
 
At this moment, while he was pursuing the retiring Spartans, Mardonius was killed. It is not known how this happened, but we can be sure that Mardonius, who knew that his army had been victorious, died as a happy man.

And about Batis, read it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Gaza I like this part:
 
According to the Roman historian Quintus Curtius Rufus, Batis was killed by Alexander in imitation of Achilles' treatment of the fallen Hector. A rope was forced through Batis's ankles, probably between the ankle bone and the Achilles tendon, and Batis was dragged alive by chariot beneath the walls of the city. Alexander, who admired courage in his enemies and might have been inclined to show mercy to the brave Persian general, was infuriated at Batis's refusal to kneel and by the enemy commander's haughty silence and contemptuous manner.

And about Shahin and Shahrbaraz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahin_Vahmanzadegan
 
In 613 the Roman offensive pressed on into Syria, but the combined Persian armies under Shahin and Shahrbaraz crushingly defeated Heraclius near Antioch and again near the Cilician Gates. As a result, in 614 Shahin was able to campaign all the way across Anatolia to Chalcedon on the shore of the Bosphoros opposite Constantinople.
 
Cool
