Not sure about "proven winners" and being easy maintenance. We purchased two Sungold and one Orange Rocket. Keeping watered, providing fertilizer and mulching. All three dropping leaves and dying back. We planted other natives at the same time (ferns, salal, etc.) and none show these symptoms. Not sure what to do but definitely not proven winners. Our Native Barberry doing just fine and never had this problem. Will probably buy native of I purchase barberry again.
