Is it better to train a vine on a fence or trellis?

I am growing a hibiscus bush and I am trying to train it because it’s branches are spreading across the ground and I’m afraid it will start to take over the garden. I bought a small trellis, but I’m wondering if the metal chain link fence right behind it would be better for it to grow on. Also, how do you get the vines onto the fence/ trellis?

I have two hibiscus plants in my garden, I have not found the need for any support for them, nor are they invasive. They are propagated by cuttings or seedlings as far as I know, so I don’t think they will take over the garden. Also hibiscus to the best of my knowledge is not a vine.

However, I did find one source of a hibiscus like vine : perhaps it will be useful: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/tropical/msg0300245125979.html
