[TowerTalk] antenna relays

I am looking at building a few shortened-with-capacity-hat
vertical dipole arrays for the coming winter, and am wondering
what kind of relays to use for antenna switching.

I am looking at DPDT relays, so I can short the coax stubs
when not in use (passive reflector 3-element arrays), but
really have no idea what else I need to look for in an
antenna relay.

What relays do you use for antenna switching?

I am using 100W power btw and have no plans for an amp yet,
but I guess having some extra power capacity may be good
for other reasons (lightning induced current?).
