If you are tuning a coaxial fed antenna, you will want the tuner where the 
coax ends and the antenna begins.  That way, the reflected power is radiated 
rather than absorbed by the antenna.  Where you put the tuner is much more 
important than what the tuner is.
This will require a tuner in a weather protected box and a way of remotely 
powering it.
Sounds like a lot for a band that is virtually never open.  Unless their is 
FM activity near you, You will want to be horizontally polarized anyway. 
This is much more noticable on local contacts, but I have found a 20 DB 
difference here between a same or cross polorized contact when that is a 
local contact.
