I'd look at native prairie over a pure NWSG stand. It's one of the best overall habitats as far as biodiversity and overall use is concerned (not just for deer). Mixed height or tallgrass prairie would be great for fawning cover. As far as bedding. A few spruce or cedars surrounded by a 10 yard strip of NWSG would work great for bedding.
If you're worried about which species will work best, buy a few plugs of each (or even grow your own) and see how they do next to each other. How large of an area are you looking at?
As far as 1st hand experience, my neighbor planted (I think at a pretty aggressive rate) some switch on sandy hills on his property. He could never get anything else to grow there. It has taken off and is so thick you can hardly walk through it. This is right next to an ag field, so it gets some use. On my own property, I don't have any NWSG yet, but I plan to replace half of my food plot with native prairie with some DCO's and hazelnuts. I CAN say that when I let my plot go fallow, it had some incredible fawning cover I had vetches, some volunteer rye and weeds coming up. Turkeys and fawns galore, even on that one acre.
From my own observations, the best fawning cover is where there is a mix of heights of structure. I constantly see/run up on fawns that are bedded in between a blow over, with ferns surrounding them, with some shorter (1-2 foot) grasses. I've never witnessed adults bed there, as IME they tend to bed with some sort of overhead cover, or in a place where there is some strategic advantage of bedding there (favorable wind, hard to get to without noise, good visibility etc...) Basically I've found that the best fawning cover is usually pretty similar to good rabbit cover. Lots of nooks and crannies!
