None of the ferret treats that you mentioned are really ideal for ferrets. And you certainly shouldn't give them things like banana (far too sugary for a ferret). Remember, they don't NEED any treats (other than for behavior modification), so you might want to make sure they get something good out of whatever treat you give them.
If you're looking for a good, reliable ferret treat, try the following...
Pounce -- stays fresh for a long while, isn't bad for them, and seems to help keep their teeth clean. Also you can find it in any pet store and most supermarkets.
Cheerios -- not the best (nutritionally speaking), but some seem to really love it.
Peanut butter -- not very good for an everyday treat (too much sugar), but its fun to watch them smack around with it...
