Glad you are a subscriber to PB. Given your goals I would get northern (regular) BG. Its not just a question of survival. All the data that I have seen clearly point out that the question to ask is how well do the southern species do over time. The answer is if its cold - not very well - even if they survive performance will be much less than expected. Crosses could be a different story. As to southern X northern crosses there is some info on LMB but I have not seen any on CNBG X BG. I do know that good quality regular BG with enough food and good water can be , in your area , just as good as CNBG are in the deep south.
