Well........

Not sure about quite a few of those, but I think you'll be fine with the following:

Saba
Mysore
Raja Puri

And these are pretty reliable here in zone 7 (and even colder):

m. lasiocarpa
m. sikkimensis

These probably would NOT be good choices:

Hua Moa
Dwarf Red

I'm not sure about the others. Ones that I can recall off the top of my head that wouldn't be suitable in zone 8a would be:

Jamaican Red
musa beccarii
AeAe
Cavendish
musa zebrina (or Rojo, Sumatrana)

Too tired to think right now, but that's a start.

And to be sure, none of the fruiting types are really completely reliably hardy in zone 8a without some form of protection, usually in the form of mulch. Species bananas, such as musa sikkimensis, and of course musa basjoo, are hardier on average than the fruiting types.

Thank you for your reply. This gives me a good place to start, what's okay and what to avoid. I really wanted that Saba to be on the okay list and it is! :)

Musa basjoo...by far the most cold hardy. I have overwintered basjoo with about 6 inches of mulch covering for the last four years here in St. Louis, MO (Zone 5-6. They have seen below zero and they are healthy as can be. They are around 12-15 feet tall now. Next in line would be Musella lasiocarpa and then Musa sikkimensis. With proper protection you should be able to grow many others in Alabama. Good luck!
