Thanks to all, especially DL8MBS for the input on my quandry about what
effect the sloping ground would have on my antenna choice for my new KH6 QTH.
It seems as though there is conflicting and sparse info on this topic.
However, there was one source I located right after I posted the
question..ON4UN
covers the subject in some detail. He mentions YT6T (and others) location
and describes it as having a slope exactlly the same as mine (8 degrees) and
models such a location. It was extremely helpful and is very interesting.
DL8MBS sent me some info with a link to anecdotes from various sources on
the same topic, which may be of interest.

Like almost all of us I am limited by space and other antennas for different
bands. Since the info is conflicting, I will probably take care of the
other bands first and then see what I have space for...a high dipole or a
vertical.
Thanks again.
