Be careful - Hydriod is a nana-enabler - he started me on my nana addiction with a free pup several years ago. 
Seriously, Orinoco is a great starter nana - very cold hardy and robust but probably not suited for a pot unless you have a forklift. The namwahs are also good choices. In your zone they would require serious winterizing in order to produce a crop.
Good luck - I you are in Biloxi , I have T. and D. namwahs and orinoco.
