I've actually heard good arguments for authentic (as opposed to the usual Theme Park Version) Space Amish for colonization — the Amish preference for simple, proven technology & self-reliance means they will be better able to deal with any necessary downgrades in technology...and they would adopt any technology that was definitely necessary in their new environment. (The Amish feelings are not that technology is evil but rather along the lines of "Just because we can does not mean we should.")
