If you are in 8a, every one of the ones on your list, except possibly the Mona Lisa could be left outside. But it depends on what you are wanting with your bananas. If strictly for ornamental purposes, then the Dwarf Orinoco, Saba, and Ice Cream should not have a problem coming back for you if you mulch them pretty well. The Mona Lisa I am not sure of. If you are hoping to get them to flower/fruit, then you may want to overwinter inside. This is just based on my experiences with them where I live in SE TN. (zone 7a/b)
