I'm not an EE so I can't answer with theory.  However, after lightning fried
a new Comtek box one week after installation I installed Polyphaser devices
at the feedpoint of each vertical and didn't notice any degradation of the
patterns.

I believe I did that at the recommendation of Jim at Comtek after having to
replace the new box.

I also installed static bleed chokes at the base of each vertical.  3 years
no problems.
