What hedge do you recommend? Is Yew the best?

First define best ;-)

What are you looking for?

a) Good looks


Yes please

Could you consider Camellias which you can grow other things through which
will flower when the Camellias are not? Or how about Eleagnus, some of
which are highly scented? Then there's Aucuba, variegated hollies,
Pittosporum, Eucalyptus (pinched out after a couple of years to keep them
short) Escallonia and Griselinia (in milder areas)
