Concrete base with the edge deeper to take the weight of the walls also you could add some A142 reinforcing mesh for added strength

Nothing wrong with the full fill option. I've only used that on sandy ground. On clay I would use 225mm deep concrete, build up the rest of the way with concrete blicks laid flat . Off the top of my head I think the full fill concrete is more than twice the expense, but is quicker , pros and cons yeah . Might need a pump for concrete if access is an issue, more money 🙁
