This is not exactly the answer, but it should help you think about it. http://k9yc.com/VertOrHorizontal-Slides.pdf

Also, if the land around you is not flat, you also need to study and use HFTA extensively. It comes on the CD with the ARRL Antenna Book. HFTA tells only about horizontally polarized antennas, NOT verticals, because they interact with the earth very differently. The slides tell a big part of that story.
