Found 89 octane and zero ethanol. I do not ride very much and bike does sit for 4-5 weeks at a time.
Should I run the non ethanol fuel with octane booster. Or run premium fuel with Star Tron ethanol treatment. Bike is an 07 XB12Stt.

Just use whatever 91/93 octane you can find. Having the bike sit for a month will do more to your battery than fuel system. Some octane boosters contain lead and will damage your O2 sensor.
