Watch out for the fast growing trees as you may find within 3-5 years they are too large and too close to your home. Personally I like some varieties to Holly bushes and Trees. They are evergreen, give shade, don't have major leaf drops and those with red berries attract many varieties of birds. Trees can be shaped and bushes cut to form a hedge.
