I think all of them should do fine for you in the ground in your zone, withn the exception of Musa cheesmani. It really isn't THAT cold-hardy, and needs plenty of heat to grow well. Not sure about M. nagensium, as I haven't tried that in the ground yet. If M. 'Tibet' is the same as M. 'Yangtze Valley', then it should also perform very well for you. My M. itinerans 'India Form' is showing some excellent promise as far as cold-hardiness so far.
