I would avoid Trumpet Vine and Wisteria as they will sprout from the ground dozens of feet or more from the main plant. Both are really aggressive and most folks regret planting it after a few years. Coral Honeysuckle I grow a lot of and love and it can get large but never out of control and hummingbirds love it. Golden Hops is an interesting idea. It is a food plant for the caterpillars of several butterflies and grows fast. There are also some large leafed Dutchman's Pipes that would probably work.
