I'm not being sarcastic. My personal opinion is to use the good old (could get expensive) "trial and error" method and buy both (or a few) antennas and see what happens. I've used the trial and error  method when experimenting with numerous antennas on my new pick up truck. Testing-out about six or seven antennas on the same day, I parked in the same location and talked with the same base station. I narrowed it down to the 6' fiberglass whip, the Predator 10K w/ 22" bottom shaft and the 102" stainless whip. The Predator and the 102" whip prevailed.
