need help choosing

so many varieties!!!!
I need help choosing a bamboo to use as a privacy/sound screen for a highway that i live near.
I live above the highway and look down on it is the Taller the better.
I live near pittsburgh, so that is zone 6b (minus-5 to 0 degrees) or zone 6a (minus-10 to -5)
the area i am planting i can let the bamboo run as it will be contained by the roads,
It does get a significant amount of wind and we do get snow here.
The only other thing worth mentioning is that i won't be able to baby this bamboo as it will be in a area that is difficult to get to.
i was thinking atrovaginata? anything that seems to fit better? taller? more cold hardy?
