How about the best of both worlds (or at least an approximation thereof). I would suggest for two meter home station applications that a lindenblad antenna is a versatile compromise omni-directional antenna that works equally well with both vertical and horizontal polarizations. The complexity of construction is not that much greater than for a big-wheel or three dipole array. One source for more info: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/articles/w6shp/lindy.html
