Peter,
It depends on a lot of things: ground characteristics, number of radials, height of radials and the overall height available. Generally, over average-to-good ground and with 32 or more radials, the inverted L will perform better for DX at anything up 100', most of the time. If you can put an inverted V higher than 100', you may get a better antenna, especially if your QTH is over poor soil and you have only a few radials.
Really, there is only one way to tell: Try it.
Ultimately, having both will give you the best performance.

I know this is not very helpful, but ...
73,
George,

comparison tests or experiences with inverted V at that height compares. Tnx
