if you destroyed a planet... how much of it would end up staying it that orbit?

I'd wager most of it would stay in the same general orbital region. Some pieces would fly out orthogonally and enter highly elliptical orbits, but I'd wager that most of the pieces would not be given divergent enough velocities to do much other than increase or decrease the orbital distance by a small margin.
