I have run both 102 and loaded whips. Base load center load and top load. I’ve read all the trash on each one about compromise and on and on.

1/4 wave being my choice of whip I have to wonder, height being such a factor in any plot you see i am always looking for better or different.

What’s going to work better on the same mount, ball and spring, on the same location? 5/8 top load like a fire stick or a full 1/4 wave 102 whip? The tip of the 102 will be higher of course.
