As a rule, you can dry hop with any hop, but the rule I tend to follow is that if its high in AA i reserve it for bittering; Low in AA, usually good for dry hopping.

Just make sure you put them in a hop bag or something to contain the pellet material as it breaks down.. I just tossed a ounce in the carboy once... big mistake (unless your enjoy hop particles in your finished beer) which most dont lol
If your going to dry hop in your primary, I'd advise you to wait until the majority or all of the fermentation is complete, or you will loose a lot of aroma. Also 7 day minimum (14 is better) for dry hopping after fermentation.
+1, try dry hopping in stages as well. If you are going to dry hop 2 oz, cut it in half and dry hop 1 oz for a week and another 1 oz the next week. That is if you can wait that long.
