If the trees are needed to provide a visual barrier, then you want something that won't crown up after a few years. Around here, cedar grows fast and will sort of 'hedge up.' Fir and some spruce tend to keep branches near the ground but don't grow as fast. Both cedar and fir like moisture. A lot of the choice depends on where you are.
Poplar grows real fast, but it doesn't provide much of a visual barrier after a few years--especially during the winter. Beaver like them, and they will turn a poplar stand into a widow-maker stand in a hurry if there are any beaver around.
Trees of all kinds, but especially fast growing one, and doubly especially anything willow should never be planted anywhere a septic system.
