You can narrow the odds by looking for plants that have done well for others in similar climates, plants hybridized in a similar climate, the sales catalogues of growers in similar climates etc., or check out the AHS Popularity Poll results for your AHS Region here:
For 2014:

and here for past years:

Like Claudia and Maurice I grow all three registered foliage types, never paid any attention to it when I first got into daylilies and still don't. I only care if they're hardy here. I did buy from sellers in Canada and also referred to the regional popularity poll (which has its limitations in my region because it covers every zone from USDA Zone 7 to as cold as it gets
)
I've lost a few, not many, over the years, from all foliage types. There's always going to be an element of trial and error in gardening.
