[CQ-Contest] If you could only have one simple antenna...?

I'm a fairly serious but second-tier contester who's getting old, and we 
have just moved to Baltimore County, MD for family medical reasons.  
Tower and antenna rules here are pretty reasonable, but I have other 
constraintswhich will pretty much limit me to one antenna, and probably 
to wires.  I'd still like to play in Sweepstakes and dabble in DX 
contests. Given the state of the sunspot cycle, a lot of that is likely 
to be on the lower bands.

So, if you were in my shoes, what would you put up?

73, Pete N4ZR
