Default Banana Choices for Zones 7b/8a

If you could recommend just one banana of the dessert variety that may give growers in zones 7b or 8a a decent chance to fruit and the fruit to ripen, what variety would you suggest? Take into account cold hardiness, ease of storage during the winter, and even taste. I'm going to order some different kinds of bananas this year to test them out. Thanks in advance for the responses!
