I have some dwarf and tall apple [brazillian] bananas growing.
The dwarf have been here here for over 15 years, the tall for about 5 years.

We had an eruption about 3 or 4 years ago that affected almost everything growing in our yard.
Only the hibiscuses seemed to be affected nicely.
They liked the soil being acidified by sunphur gasses from the eruption.

The bananas were somewhat stunted, and badly affected by bunchy-top in the large newer groupings I had set up.
The dwarfs were the worst affected, infecting most of them while I ended up destroying almost all of the remaining dwarfs.

I have 2 dwarfs with pups remaining in the old original separated planting area that were not affected, probably due to their separation.
I'm keeping them as a seed if I decide to regrow and enlarge the dwarf planting again.

The talls were affected by the bunchy-top, but nowhere as severely.
Most of them survived and have been increasing in number.
A relative few died from the b-t infection.
The two banana plots of tall and dwarf had about 50 plants each to begin with producing fruit year around until the infection.

From the experience here, I'm thinking the talls are more resistant to b-t than the dwarfs.
There is also an old planting of Ice Creams, that like the dwarfs were from the previous owner.
I didn't like them, so let the weeds just overgrow them.
They are still growing nicely poking up through the weeds.
I have to keep cutting them back so they don't overcrowd an adjacent orange tree.
They seem to have been affected by the b-t even less.

Any knowledge of b-t infection comparison between the various edible banana cultivars?
