Elevated 4-7m would be better, if you can put up resonant radials.

 >2.)   Shall I use few 1/4 wl or more 1/8 wavelength radials ? by a given total 
wire length of 400m/1200ft ? 

Go to http://www.ncjweb.com/k3lcmaxgainradials.pdf for an article that calculates the correct numer and length of radials for a given lenght of available wire.
