we've decided to go with switchgrass and some virginia pine...the switchgrass has been planted in the past and is slowly stabilizing from the bottom up.  only time will tell....thanks for all the great suggestions, might be trying some of those in the future :)

Wouldn't the pine prefer dryer soil?

The slope is southwest facing and fairly dry.  I envision the pine coming in at the top of the slope and the switchgrass stabilizing the lower portion of it.  When we head out there I'll try to get some pictures
