Where I live the developer wanted chain link fence to get people to get creative with their yard design when attempting to create privacy. We went with a hot tub off my main deck where I built a surround with 7' wood lattice. Then I planted hops along it that covered it within 2 years.

If you going the tree route Columnar Aspens and Poplars look almost identical. The differences are in the roots. Aspens have smaller root bundles (about 6' diameters), while Poplars are more agressive (about 12'). I would avoid bushes as they will grow through the links which may become an issue with you neighbours.
