Personally, I think that there will be no vertically polarized solution to 3
crank up towers so close to each other.  Its actually hard to imagine any of
the bands not having a problem based on what is described.

 

If it were me, I would go with an inverted V at 106 ft and make sure the
legs are a clean 45 degrees off the top.  Personally, I have used loaded
legs on an inverted vee with success and that increases the efficiency since
the ends are now much higher above the ground.  A trade of coil loss to
ground loss.
