So, you mentioned climate- always important. We are zone 8b/9 -near Houston, TX... so a Cavendish should be fine here, right?
Don't know if you have a Dw. Cavendish... Do they have a thicker Pstem and/or are they more sturdy w/ wind than a Mysore?

In my opinion, none of the bananas you have selected will survive your winter without serious, labor-intensive protection. Somehow you'll need to keep the plants, corms, and roots from freezing -- and ideally keep them from sustained temperatures below 40F.
