TopBand: Dipole vs Inverted L

[Peter]

Hi everyone, thanks for your answers to my initial Inverted L antenna
question, Today I am wondering this...assuming I get permission from my
neighbors to run some wire across their back yards, Is the halfwave
dipole better than the inverted L?  Max height at feedpoint would
be approx 36-38 feet.  Are ground radials still needed?  I am
guessing that it would have more gain, but a high angle of radiation.
