Musa mannii comes back earlier than all of my other bananas here in zone 7. In addition to the ones that palmtree noted, I would add:

Musa itinerans var. itinerans
Musa sikkimensis and M. sikkimensis hybrids (some hardier than others)
Musa yunnanensis (mine died this past winter with no protection though)


There are others that I'm blanking on...but that'll give you a good start. Check other threads in the cold-hardy banana forum to find out others.
