I look at that quite differently. I mostly design/choose TX antennas for 
max gain in the desired direction(s) and elevation angles over the 
desired bandwidth. I mostly design/choose RX antennas for most rejection 
of noise. For an antenna like an HF Yagi that must do both TX and TX, 
I'll give up rejection to get gain and bandwidth.
