There are a number of resources online and on island who can help you assess the best species for your location and intent. We've purchased material from Susan at Quindembo (http://www.bamboonursery.com/). A nice specimen for a screen is DREPANOSTACHYM KHASYANUM. We have this growing in our back yard.
Ano at Gaia Yoga also has decent specimens. He supplies Home Depot and is located in Pahoa. His site: http://www.gaiayoga.org/nursery/hawaiian...chart.html
Focus on clumpers and you'll be fine. There are some 'running' specimens that can easily take over your back yard if you don't build barriers to contain them.
