One option I don't see mentioned often is an electrically short vertical - say 40ft - top loaded with a remotely tuneable mobile whip.

The whip adds the required top capacity without introducing the opposing current vectors (and therefore reduced Rrad) you can get when using part of the guying as a capacity hat; plus you have the convenience of the remote tuning.
