End fed... I can throw it up about anywhere I go at a moment's notice and make CW contacts at 5 watts with little effort. It packs small, works in pretty much any position, easily repaired, fits in a camera bag with the radio, battery and everything else needed for a day of fun.
Yesterday I was at Mason Neck WWFF KFF-1308. Dragged one end up a tree almost vertical, ran between 3 and 10 watts and worked 14 stations including Belgium with minimal effort. Time from start of setup to on the air maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Whatever other antenna you may find, it still might be worth bringing an end fed along.
