Apparently your fence is for privacy, rather than keeping two and four legged pests out? If that is the case, The areca palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens), makes a nice hedge. Clumping bamboos are another favorite of mine. For a living fence, I've considered using vivee (cattley guava) since it is so abundant in my area and is practically impossible to kill. I would use the guava trunks as uprights, and maybe bamboo for horizontal pieces. The right bamboo should last longer than just about anything else, and is quite straight. Haven't had the time for this yet.
