Topband: Tee versus L versus Straight radials

Gang,
 
I am yet another guy with a radial problem, not a lot of space and various  
impediments in different directions.  I do, however, have a nice wooden  
fence around that is conducive to tacking down some T or L shaped  radials in 
several directions.  My question is whether it is better to have  a lot of 
shorter (30' to 60') radials or run fewer of them that are electrically  
longer in a Tee or L configuration along the fenceline.  I  tried six temporary 
T radials last season and they seemed to play rather  well, but then 
conditions last year were much better than this year.
