Best garden retaining wall?

Hello,
Our back garden is very wide and sloping so we were wanting to build a retaining wall down the middle and make 2 flat levels. Only thing is if we do the full width it's going to be a pretty long wall! Therefore wondering what material is best to use that won't break the bank....? Any advice appreciated

I used Flag-on-Edge for a two-foot tall retaining wall in my garden. Using 900 x 600 mm paving slabs I was able to have 1 foot below ground level in concrete and two foot about ground level.
This site gave the idea, and has suggestions about the other options for retaining walls, e.g. gabions and railway sleepers:
