Does anyone have any suggestions about the best rootstock choices for potted apple trees for zone 7B in NC? If I buy from my two preferred nurseries, I'm limited to the following options:

Bud9
MM111/EMLA111
EMLA106
EMLA7

My first instinct was to go with Bud9 since it produces a smaller tree and might fruit earlier, but, presumably, growing in containers will naturally dwarf the trees and likely encourage earlier fruiting...so does it really matter?
