The best overall banana in regards to toughness in the face of cold, disease and insects (And it tastes pretty good, too.) is Dwarf Brazilian. At least of the 12 varieties I have.

Varieties I supposedly bought: Manzano, Cavendish, Blue Java, Sweetheart, and Gros Michel.
What it seems I actually have: Brazilian, Cavendish, Namwah, Dwarf Red, Gros Michel, Pisang Ceylon, Veinte Cohol and SH 3640, and American Goldfinger. FHIA 1, Paggi and FHIA 17... Always room for one more.
