Default Good runner beans for NA

I grew Insuk's Wang Kong this year and they shut down in the heat/drought/constant wind, but revived with the cooler/wetter weather and were quite productive, so I'm happy with them.

I've been reading about all the lovely varieties that people grow in the UK.

Lady Di, which takes a long time to form the beans inside the pods which makes the pods stay tender for longer (and they are stringless!)

White Lady. White flowers attract the pollinators

St. George. Has pretty red-and-white flowers.

Has anyone had any success with these, or other varieties? I'm not finding much online about runners on this continent and I suspect that most of them do better in the UK climate.
