gday man :D

shimpaku are a better variety especially for shohin size trees, they have a tighter adult foliage and you can get them very dense. if your drift wood is large squamata would be fine, the adult foliage of sqaumata is a little less dense but none the less can make for some great trees.

people have told me shimpaku are slower i beleive this is in thickenen as mine respond very well to trimming for back budding and pinching for get dense foliage :D

Look forward to seeing yours :D
