The fence is NW facing and it gets sunshine from about 1100h until about
1600h due to shape of house; so which plant would be the better option,
please?
As regards the possibility of weedkiller being the cause, I have just
had a look at the vine and there appears to be life in the 'branches' [I
know it's not the right word, sorry]. They all resist being snapped and
spring back to position so I presume it will sprout again, but is it
worth it?

The Parthenocissus will give the best show. But I got the impression you
were most interested in the leaf cover in summer so the Wisteria would do
that as well but would not flower as well.
