Hardiness of various Tillandsia (esp. FL native species)?

[Calosphace]

I've been on a tilly kick the past year and purchased many, facilitated by their low shipping costs lol but I'm struggling to figure out which I can leave out

I've been able to find a list of broms and their responses to certain temps but Tillandsia were not featured on it (mostly Aechmea and Neos). Does anyone know of references about Tillandsia, or have experience with them? I'm in zone 9a/b it's been years since we got below 25 but I try to at least plan for lower 20s

I'm most interested in these two as they are found in south FL and a little above that so I'm wondering if they will be hardy for me:

T. balbsiana

T. fasciculata var. densispicata (same form as south FL but this is nursery stock from DR collection so I'm worried)

 

Tillandsia I grow naturally occurring in my county (left out):  T. usenoides, T. recurvata, T. bartramii, T. simulata

 

I left out two exotic species I had multiples of during several nights in 20s including one at 25:

Tillandsia fuchsii var. gracilis  (lost one on north side mounted to Crape but I think it got hit by neighbors sprinkler? other mounted to treeform Pineapple guava, west facing, was ok)

Tillandsia ionatha (lost one on north side near that same Crape, died much quicker; other 2 were ok)

 This link lists several species:  Might contact places like Tropiflora for any others / additional thoughts.
