Re: Plantains
Orinoco is a pretty good one. There's many other dessert type bananas that can be used for cooking, you're probably just best to avoid small lady-finger types such as Rajapuri, Brazilian, Mysore, etc. If you're in 9a though I'd actually recommend you grow them either on the south side of a wall/building or in a greenhouse, that way even with long ripeners or slightly less hardy cultivars you'd have better chances with good fruit.
