I don't know either antenna but comet and diamond are good antennas. Are you 
putting the antenna inside, if so, 75 feet? How big is your place? you sure 
don't want to coil up extra coax especially if there's a lot of it and I 
hope if you do want it that long it's good coax. The thinner stuff will be a 
bit lossy with a length like that.
