don't know why Wilson stopped making the 6' silverload. it was my favorite glass type antenna and possibly the best sounding.

Have you used an antenna analyzer? Whatever objective technical data you gleam from that testing should be your guide.
Just my .02.

@Rick, I'm hoping to use either a mfj 259c, which the techs at work call "Marginal " or their rig expert. I'm thinking that they also have a mfj266. the Captain should
I like the pred 10k
But I've used the 102 whip with the 6 spring for yrs and that thing always amazes me esp DX

A Skipshooter is cheap to buy. I don’t see a conflict as to which. Get both.
If properly mounted there is not a mobile CB antenna made that will perform better than the 102" whip.
Best mobile antenna I ever used was a Francis Wheeler Dealer 96" whip.
The 102" steel whip is still the best way to go if you can.

i have had the 102 ball mounted TDC of the roof.
but the best? maybe not for every situation.
if they could make one out of flexible aluminum or copper plate a 102 then yes, possibly the best

I do not have an analyzer and wish I did. Havent the money to spend on one right now. I used to have one but sold it because I wasnt using it that much years ago.
My Predator 10K 27in beat out a 108 inch whip with a riser on my Grand Marquis. By a hair but a difference was seen in transmit and receive with a base station 15 miles away. I mean in no way was it done like a tech but what we did it was noticed. It was just a dead key both ways.

I have the 9 17 and 27 in Predator shafts, 5 6 and 7 ft skipshooters 108 and 102 in whips used with a riser/adjuster and a 3ft K40 t300. lol
Actually its 108 for 11 meters. 102 plus a 6in spring(gulp) or a riser/adjuster usually at least 10in, mine is the 12 in but I don't see any more for sale just the 10.
