What's your opinion on using Kalanchoe Daigremontiana as grafting stock?

Hello guys, I've been going around the idea of grafting Trichs for the first time; as I have no way to buy Pereskiopsis (can't seem to find it anywhere) I came across with other plants and cactus in my garden that look like they'd do the trick, here are my options:
Kalanchoe Daigremontiana (Bryophyllum daigremontianum)

This plant I found it growing in front of a house (the picture is actually from the internet), with a million more growing around it. I took one, put it on a little pot with little amount of soil, and it started growing like crazy. A million seedlings (which fall down from the leaves and start rooting in no time), incredible growth rate, it loves full sun and lots of water. Unfortunately, I haven't found anything about using it as grafting stock, what do you think?
My other options are:
Myrtillocactus Geometrizans

Nice looking cactus, although I haven't seen mine grow a lot to think it would boost the growth of the scion.
Stenocereus Thurberi

I posted this one some time ago, since then it has grown good roots, it has etiolated and started growing very fast.
If anybody has any opinion on the kalanchoe, I'd like to read it. Thanks in advance!

Kalanchoe isn't a cactus All cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti.
I am not sure if either of those stock will really benefit a trich, as once they get going they do grow rather well, and have more hardy roots than either of those choices. But to get some seedlings boosted along then degrafted they could work well.
Have you tried the marketplace for pereskiopsis? Once you manage just one small piece, it will propagate easy enough to more than you might ever need.

I've been looking for pereskiopsis everywhere, haven't seen it even in a big marketplace that has grafted cactus, doesn't seem to be a popular plant in my country, and I can't buy anything online from another country. I think I'll just have to keep looking.
