Darren:
I've had good luck with the Alpha Delta DXCC multi-band dipole. It is 82
feet long, and covers 40 through 10 meters reasonably well.
More info on this antenna can be found at:
http://www.alphadeltacom.com/pg1.html
To effectively get down to 80 and 160 meters, I have used something called
the Cobra Ultralite Senior. This antenna is 140 feet long, and may be too
big to fit nicely into your lot, but there are other shorter antennas for
the higher bands. For more info on this type of antenna, go to:

Another option would be a vertical of some kind, but then you typically have
to install ground radials for best performance, which may not be practical.
I'm sure others will have opinions, so take mine for what it's worth, and
good luck with whatever you decide.
