Thuja Green Giant VS ?

Hi,

I am trying to plant a very fast growing privacy hedge. We have about two acres with a slope on the north side so the neighbor's house sits above our yard. I wanted to plant a row of Green Giants, but am having trouble finding them at an affordable price for the number I feel I need. From what I've read, most of you feel 6-8 feet is good spacing as opposed to the recommended 5 feet is that correct?

My problems are - some shade from black walnuts on the neighbor's property just over the line and about a million deer. I heard the green giant has some deer resistance compared to other varieties.

Any suggestions regarding variety if I can't get the GG? They need to grow fast and should reach at least 20 feet. Every store seems to carry the Emerald Green. What is the difference between Thuja Occidentalis and Thuja Plicata? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Tricia
