Given the four choices below, which would you recommend?  My goal is consistent 
stateside QSOs with occasional decent DX'ing.

1.  TH6 @ 70' and three 40m ground mounted phased 1/4 wave verticals in an
    equilateral triangle.

2.  PRO67 (latest version) @ 70'   What's the windload in ft^2 for a PRO-67?

3.  TH6 @ 62' and 2 element 40m @ 70-72' 

4.  2 element 40m @ 62' and TH6 @ 70-72'

The choice between 3 and 4 would be based upon having the lesser windload of the
two up at 70'.  Recommendations and opinions on available 2 element 40m beams 
are welcome.  Thanks for reading.
