Hi John, I've found as long as the module has lock the level of timing isn't going to change so you can use anything really (heck we even us ceramic chip antennas on some boards). For outside use any active automotive patch should be fine but keep the lead as short as possible. Again I don't believe the antenna actually needs to be outside the NEO-6T modules will give timing with just one satellite so as long as you can get a lock indoors you should be fine.
I run a pair of chinese magnetic patch antennas indoors (on top my bench PSU) in the window.
