Pyracantha variety

Hi,
I've recently moved house and have a garden for the first time. Its fairly small, and the previous owner decked the lot which I've now removed. I'd like to see if I can get more (in fact any) wildlife to use the garden so am looking for (amongst other things) a pyracantha to grow up one fence. I've been looking on the web for varieties which are particularly good for birds, but am now totally confused! Some websites suggest "mohave red", others say the birds won't touch mohave and suggest "orange glow", whilst still others say the birds don't like orange berries and suggest "red column". Can anyone advise me on which one to get?!

Also, does anyone know of an evergreen cotoneaster, which could also be trained up a fence?

best wishes,
Samaith
