The benefit is that is can be used for such a wide variety of things, and it is a perennial so it will come back every year! Other no brainers (and I know this from my own personal experience) is lemon verbena, thyme (lemon thyme as well) rosemary, mint, and lavender, and basil. I have had some troubles with sage, but maybe it doesn't like Ohio weather, so the humid/hot might be good for it! Pretty much any herb is workable, just buy from a good source (preferably a farmer's market) and read any labels. I know having them indoors vs. outdoors makes a difference as well, so what I share is just from having outdoor herbs. (I just dug up the ground, plopped them in, and they lived!) Good luck!

If it gets too dry...water. This time of year, protect from freezing temps but should do well til it gets to 40 or so. Chives, Parsley, lemon thyme & basil all grow well in hot & humid.
