Shore pine cultivars (Pinus contorta)

Hello,

I will be planting an evergreen screen around an equipment yard. One side of this yard is bordered by a ditch that is mostly dry during the summer, but is subject to floods in the winter. I'm considering Pinus contorta for that edge as it seems to be able to adapt to wet and dry soils.

Are there any recommended cultivars? Especially any that are particularly dense and/or narrow? Any cultivars to straight-up avoid?

Thank you all for any help, pointers, or tips you can provide!

ETA: I live in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
