Hi.

It really depends upon your space requirements.  I had a Larsen dual band 
mag mount that wasn't all that tall.  Some of the gain antennas might not 
fit in an attic that well, but if you have lots of head room, then go for 
the Diamonds etc.  With all of these antennas, though, you need lots of 
metal under them--ideally something about 38 inches across with the antenna 
in the center so that you have about a quarter wave of metal all around the 
antenna on 2 meters.  Otherwise, you might be able to match the antenna, 
but the results will not be as good.
