Default Best cultivars for storage

Maybe i missed it, but since i saw the bigdog method of overwintering plants, i have always wondered what are the cultivars of banana more capable of taking that kind of treatment.
Apparetly Orinoco stores well, but i haven't been able to gather much knowledge than that regarding cultivars that store well.
My humble experience says that also Dwarf Namwah stores well, while Cavendishes and Rajapuris don't. I kept mine about at 12C, in complete darkness, and while rajapuri rotted and cavendish did lose teir pstems, DN didn't even lose its leaf.
So i hopened this thread to get experiences about that: which ones are the plants that store better for you.
