Zelkova or London Plane

I'm seeking some advice on which tree to plant. I'm considering either a Zelkova (not a cultivar from my understanding) or a London Plane tree in the corner of my backyard on a hill to screen out a new neighbor behind me. The soil is moist (there is a nearby natural spring) and more sandy than clay with the area getting late afternoon shade. Fall color is not a major consideration to me, but leaf retention and low maintenance are somewhat important, as is growth since I'll be planting a small tree (a bare root London Plane or small container Zelkova).

Thanks for your advice in advance!
