One more thing to consider if you have rock you will need to drill each T post hole with a rock drill and at every pull post, gate post and corners you will more than likely have to break those holes out as well. Whatever you decide good luck with everything.

Have your price out materials only? Wire, T-post, corners/brace posts, extra clips, gates, panels/belts for water gaps and tie wire to see what it will cost you for the whole fence? I have bought many a mile of fence materials and had a bids on labor only. I have done a turn key also with them buying everything. In South Texas I price wire at D&D in Segiun and Uvalco in Uvalde. Both were hard to beat on pricing on everything to build the fence as far as materials including pipe or wooden corners/braces and gate.
Also have looked at the weight of one roll of 6" 8' net wire? Unrolling it is not easy if you do not watch someone do it. Those rolls are very heavy.
I am going to call a buddy who had about 5 miles of HF built in rough hills in Gillespie County a couple of years for his builder. Guy built a dang good fence and a good price back then.
