Does anyone have any information on varietal choices and use of banana leaves? Are all varieties considered to be equivalent, or are there preferred varieties based on... taste, leaf size, leaf stiffness, genotype, etc.?

I'll probably never get ripe fruit in my climate, but if I'm trimming for winter storage I might as well give the leaves to co-workers from cultures that use the leaves in cooking, and if basjoo leaves are acceptable, I could plant boatloads of them and harvest during the year without as much guilt...
