I suggest putting up as much wire as you can and feeding it with open wire line.
135’ OCF is good, but too long for you.
Some modeling might find a feedpoint that’s the best compromise across the 
bands.
Can you get open wire line into your shack?
If not, dropping it to a convenient place and putting an automatic tuner there, 
fed with coax from the shack, would be good.
The OWL has little loss at any SWR and the coax would be running at 1:1, 
minimizing loss there.
HB OWL, 2” spaced, would be great.  Window line, heavy gauge, would be next 
best.
