[TowerTalk] Which Multiband Vertical is best?

[blakecl@ix.netcom.com]

Hey folks,
I know this isn't the most exciting subject, but my club wants to install 
a multiband 160-10 vertical for multiplier hunting during contests. The 
antenna would be install on top of our office building at about 25 
feet (some metal in the roof). Anyone out there actually ever compare 
REAL performance of verticals such as Hustler, HyGain, Butternut, Gap, 
KLM, Cushcraft (or dare I say Gotham)?  SWR problems?  Mechanical 
reliability and longevity in high winds?  Noise immunity?  Power handling 
capability?
Thanks in advance for the help.

73,
Chris, N4FZ
