Spoiled for choice, really.

According to the new ON4UN book, the WA3FET optimised phasing looks 
interesting. Unlike the ordinary 90deg phasing, it has deep nulls at +/- 
100deg, which should work quite well when beaming towards 30 or 210deg 
as Clive 'POI suggests. It also has a bit tighter rear lobes in general, 
so that should help when beaming to 300deg.

Or switch to 120deg with the phasing set to "stun".
