Tim,
Two antennas I would recommend using the antenna tuner and the open wire
is a 40 meter double extended zepp (Dipole) and or a 80 meter center
feed zepp (dipole)
With the double extended you get some very strong lobes and some gain, I
think around 3db over a standard dipole. It will work up on 80 meters
and all bands as well.
The 80 meter dipole will work all bands but if I remember correctly it
doesn't perform as well on 40 meters.
Here's some info.

Good luck with what ever you choose.
