What you mean, I think, is that no IMPEDANCE TRANSFORMATION is needed. 
Yet another example of why I object to the word "balun."  And I agree 
that no impedance transformation is needed at the antenna as long as 
some sort of matching is used in the shack.

But a common mode choke IS a good thing, because it keeps RF off the coax.
