「ぞ」「ぜ」「だぜ」 are mainly used by men. 「わ(わよ、わね)」「のよ、のね」 are mainly used by women. 「の」 in interrogative sentences is used by both men and women. I am a man but I sometimes use 「かしら」. We don't use 「さ」 so much. 「な」「なあ」「か」「だ」 are used by both men and women. I don't think 「や」「ら」 are used in standard Japanese. They might be used in local dialects. Anyway, it depends on the contexts. For example, girls in anime often use 「ぜ」 「だぜ」 to express their character is kind of boyish. Those letters you put in your question have additional nuances. But basically you don't have to care those too much, I think.
