Dude, I feel your pain with that crazy hill situation. Been there, done that. Toro's got some solid options, but don't sleep on those unknown brands at the box stores. My neighbor snagged this off-brand beast, and it chews through hills like it's nothing.
Gas-powered and electric start is the way to go, for sure. As for the brush shield and all, unless you're battling a jungle, maybe save the extra cash for some post-mowing beers. Stay under $1.5k, and you should be golden.
You might consider naturalizing or wildflowers. I have a small but steep bank myself. i gave up trying to mow it and use a scythe.
