If you have neighbors the answer is neither. Antennas like this cannot 
be choked to kill noise picked up on the feedline, so they tend to be 
noisy. You can't work 'em if you can't hear 'em.

Resonant coax-fed antennas with a serious ferrite choke at the feedpoint 
are the quietest antenna you can easily rig. That's the virtue of fan 
dipoles.
