Cotoneaster Dammeri, dense, low growing, tips will re-root.
Yep would agree and creates an evergreen mat that can be 'hedgecut' if needed.
If you wanted a 'softer' alternative, look at Ajuga repans, lowish growing good ground cover, leaves change colours and plant will flower blue in spring/summer
That's a big drop - have you thought of putting in some geotextile membrane first, then planting through it? Some of these will biodegrade so plants can take over holding slope together.

Mahonia aquifolium would be suitable for banks and tolerates being cut back.
I would be wary of planting Ajuga reptans as in my experience it is apt to die out. I have tried it in various positions, damp and dry, shade and sun and it always disappears. You have not said what aspect the slope has, is it south-facing?
Could that not suggest other problems given a 100% failure?
I would not plant in a 100% sun, south facing dry location, but I've seen it used to great effect planted on retaining bank at a business park hence suggestion.
So, it's ok then ?
