Well, here is my experience....
I've given up on two meter repeaters....but here is what I have done.
I like your option number two. Place the G6 on the top of the mast and put
the two meter beam horizontal. The G6 is a great FM antenna and will put
out a very good two meter signal on FM. The 13 element is OK too. I have
one at 68 feet and have worked 13 states from Kansas this past fall using 25
watts.
Grounding the G6 is very important. They attract lighting.
Just my two cents....
