Default Thinking about what to plant in Zone 8a

Being new to bananas (and Zone 8a/Central MS), I'm trying to get some ideas of what varieties I might be able to plant in ground/containers. Some general preferences:
- Possibility of getting fruit from them
- Preferably something that can overwinter in 8a (or would not be set back too far by moving a container inside for the winter).
- Ease of acquisition (and resilience to newbie mistakes)
- Attractive/unusual foliage

What are your suggestions? (Links to other threads appreciated. Bonus points if you point me to where I might acquire your suggested variety.)
