Don,

A couple of things to consider  are what bands do you want to operate, 
and how much do you want to use a tuner?   A Windom will give multi band 
operation with little or no tuner useage, while the G5RV will work 
multibands, but  needs a tuner almost everywhere.

Something like the ones made by Alpha Delta and similar companies that 
use loading coils or traps will let you work  without a tuner  on 
multiple bands or at least on portions of bands.   The more resonant 
bands you want with this type of antenna, the more loading coils or 
parallel wires are needed.

I've used all 3 types over the years, as well as open wire fed dipoles. 
   They all work.  Some people (including me) have had problems with the 
Windom and RFI in the shack, since the antenna is unbalanced.  A coax 
choke coil at the feedpoint solved my problem.  This was running 600 
watts, no RF problems at low power with the same antenna.
