Having lived in the desert southwest for decades, I am now in suburban Cleveland and I am going to try to plant Windmill and Needle palms this spring.  How should I protect them in the winter? I am choosing southern exposures and will need to be diligent and cross my fingers for sure. Thanks.

Definitely add Sabal minor to your list.  The foamboard box method is used in 6 and below on the windmill most often.  You might can do one of my methods on my Youtube (TNTropics) as well.

I'm about 35 miles NE of Indy. 5B - 6A.

I've got a Needle planted. In ground about 1.5 years. Mulched thick with Oak leaves and I cover with garbage can or blankets when getting down to say 12F or below. After the cold event (like we had at Christmas, I uncover but keep the leaves.  So far, so good
