I personally prefer the Super Loop over the dipole...it's quieter and has
more gain. It still needs an antenna tuner. If you do 450 ohm with a
dipole, you should consider a G5RV design instead, which is also recommended
used with a tuner and which uses a simple or a "proper" choke balun for
connection to coax.

Subject: [Antennaware] Help! Which One ?
Which one would you prefer?. A 130 foot dipole center fed with 450 Ohm Twin
Lead into a 4 to 1 Balun and 52 Ohm Co-Ax to a Tuner. Or, a Super Loop into
a 4 to 1 Balun with 52 Ohm Co-Ax to (hopefully no) antenna tuner. Or a Big
IR vertical.
