Without getting into a never-ending discussion of "which antenna is best", I would suggest that you consider just dropping 3 or 4 feet of each end straight down so that the remaining horizontal length will fit in your available space.

Yes, that's your best option.

If you want more bands, consider building a fan dipole for 20, 30, and 40 and feed it with 50 ohm coax. With a tuner, it will also work on 15M.

See k9yc.com/publish.htm  for ideas. Study Antennas For Limited Space.
