Question Dw.Namwah vs. Raja Puri Vs. Mysore/Pisang Ceylon

We have 3 beds waiting for 3 new (for us) varieties of bananas. I believe I have finally chosen which three:
  1. Dw. Namwah
  2. Raja Puri
  3. Mysore/Pisand Ceylon.
We are in zone 8b/9. My priorities in choosing were/are:
  • Taste- we like sweet
  • Texture- a texture like store bought Cavendish, not hard or mushy
  • Wind tolerance- don't want to have to prop. We get wind as we are on a hill. But, never had to prop our Orinocos
  • Size- not Saba huge. Want to shorter for 2 of the front beds, back left bed can be taller -See pic/beds are circled (ignore red circle).
  • Quantity of production


There is so much info. that is varied, I'm not sure what to believe is typical. Considering the traits above, can y'all let me know how the above three compare/contrast?
