Genetics, nutrients, sunlight, and water. Genetic potential sets the upper limits. E.g., Saba can get massive, Super Dwarf Cavendish will stay tiny. Most others are somewhere in between. Saba in a bad spot, poorly cared for will be smaller than one in an optimal spot that has been pampered.
Probably just about all varieties will do well for you over summer. It's the rest of the year that will limit you and you'll have to decide how much effort you are willing to make (e.g., do you love your bananas so much you'll build a greenhouse for them, or will you dig them up and store them in a cold cellar?).
