Geraniums are good in that they can handle a tough heat area like a balcony. I also like adding creeping jenny that spills over the pot and trails. If you don't like geraniums, zinnia and cosmos are great flowering plants..
Have you considered this type planter for over your railing with trailing plants for extra color? There are many different styles that hang on the railing. for your existing planters I would put something tall(ish) in the center, with lower growing plants around the edge. For successful plants buy according to sun tolerance.
