I've heard piƱa in SoCal, but once visited Costa Rica and heard ananas. Disclaimer: I don't speak Spanish.

I also heard in Costa Rica bananas referred to as patacones instead of platano, so I'm guessing there's a lot of regional-specific vocab at play here...
As far as I can tell, patacon (as well as platano) is plaintain - not banana.
