I have limited space for 160m operation.
I have used an Inv U, trees were to close for a full size dipole and an Inv
L.
I finally settled on the Double L as described by the YCCC. 160m op only.

I have the upper elem at ~65' and the lower at ~8'.

I have also been using both the Pennant. single elem, and the K9AY, 4 loop,
Rx arrays with good success. Both home made.
I do mostly local rag chews on 160m.
