What Kinds have stored well for you?

Which ones Haven't?

I've searched the forum for a thread that covers this, but can't find one....
I've read comments like "Orinocos store well dormant" and the like with some other bananas... but I've also read that some tend to rot when you try it.

Since this was my first winter trying here's my experience (based on looks, since I haven't planted yet)
Raja Puri, IC, and Orinoco look fine- actually slowly pushing out leaves.
BUT my DC's in the exact same storage conditions rotted and the P-Stem separated from the root section. I'm near Charlotte NC and had them upright in an unheated garage.

That was my experience I'd like everyone else's input.
