From what I have read the Garbancillo (Spain) is a tepary bean. They are vine growing so they need support but some places they let them sprawl on the ground. They do not do well in cool wet summers and are tolerant of hot and dry climates. They produce crops in dry hot weather conditions and on alkali soil. They are traditional food crop of Native Americans in the Southwest and northern Mexico.  They are called Arroz (Chile) and Blanquillo (Mexico)

Marcella is a  cannellina bean. They are a bush type of bean that grows about 22-26 inches tall.

Black Night and the Ayocotas are all runner beans. 

Rio Zape is a dry bush bean that is semi determinate or somewhat sprawling.  They seem to grow them and let them go on the ground but if you live in a wetter area than Durango Mexico you might want to support. 

I am still deciding how to grow them since we only have one seed. I am tending to plant in pot and transplant later as some bean saver growers I know.

It would be good to know what species the beans are as well as their growth
habits.
 
I did a little research and this is what I have so far:
 
Ayocote varieties are runner beans, Phaseolus coccineus.
All others are Phaseolus vulgaris, common beans.
Marcella is pole habit?
Rio Zape and Black Nightfall are bush habit.
All I can find are scientific papers on Garbancillo which don't say what
its growth habit is.
 
Anyone else know anything about these varieties?

Thanks for the corrections - much better than the info I got with some quick research. 
I'm definitely going to start in pots and transplant - maybe even soak some before planting to ensure germination.

Did everyone get their beans? I haven't received anything yet. I'm in Seattle.
