If it's in a pot, why do you need it to be cold hardy? Just bring it inside. The only time I would be concerned about having a cold hardy banana is if I were trying to overwinter it in the ground. The whole advantage to having things in a container is so they can be easily transported indoors if/when it gets cold.

Dwarf orinoco would be a fair choice though. I've heard they're pretty cold hardy and they're small enough to be in a pot.
