Yes - I'll have a look at those suggestions too - so thanks from me as well! The miscanthus look quite pleasing.
There is another plant I see around (tend to be around landscaped developments) which I can't yet name. Long, thin leaves, quite bushy...looks utterly resplendent in the wind and rain! Pretty sure it's not bamboo however. Might even be in the list provided by Verdun above.
Just to go back to the contained bamboo query: even with 3 feet high walled containers (with small drainage holes at the bottom) would I be risking trails finding a route through these holes? Might be best to speak with a specialist bamboo nursery, or indeed, give up on the idea overall!

Phormium tenax?
My bamboos came from a specialist, but there are some online bamboo shops - email them and ask what they suggest.
