    Hello...is there a reason you are limiting yourself to "one of these three"? Another type of dipole you should consider if you are looking at those three is an Off-Center Fed Dipole, Windom, or Carolina Windom. Some interesting things happen when you feed a dipole in a place other than the center, e.g. you can use many more bands with one antenna and no tuner, and the antenna also exhibits some gain.
