I'd pick the maple, they are the least messy and attract the least insects. The gum tree is considered kindof a nusiance tree.

I have probably 10 maple on my property and there huge,I'm into the flowering Trees,I just planter 2 wheeping trees this year they are beautiful,I would go with the Hard Maple.
Well today was the day & the tree selected was a Chinquapin Oak.A crew
came out this morning to do the planting.I think the squirrels will love the
acorns. :)
And the kitties will enjoy watching the squirrels enjoy the acorns. :p :D

Only drawback with an Oak is it's a *s*l*o*w* growing tree.
But it WILL be a Pretty Tree!!

6ft right now. We'll see.
For a nice fast growing tree that does not get too big, try a Russian Black Olive. Sub divisions use them a lot for the lovely foliage and the grow fast, without getting too big.
