Default Late apples

I would like to plant one or two late apples this autumn which would
keep as long in store as possible.
D'Arcy Spice seems by all accounts to keep until May which must be as
late as any, but apparently needs a good summer and warmth. I wondered
whether anyone has experience of growing it, how far north will suit it
and whether it really does keep until May.
Claygate Pearmain and Rosemary Russet also appeal, though not apparently
quite such long keepers. Any good or bad experiences of them?
