?  It depends on the job at hand.  On 75m phone, during the summer static 
season, talking to a large group spread around in different directions, 
using a dipole with an amplifier is a proven way to be heard comfortably 
by all stations.   A directional / gain antenna is not going to cut the 
mustard.  .
