I guess its the same as asking which is the best radio or best camera, it all comes down to personal preference and circumstances, location, freq you want to listen to

There is no real way of providing answers to this

Are the antenna for your hobby? Are you a scanner/receiver user or an active HAM or CB operator and require to transmit as well as receive? Antenna for receive only is a lot different to a receive/transmit antenna.

Good reply, but its not a rule or reality question, just wondering people's preference's and wondering how many differnet idea's would result. There is no WRONG answer or right one for that matter.
