Certainly you need a horizontally polarized one, the simplest being a
straight forward dipole.
If you want to be more serious, then a yagi of some sort.

You have probably missed the 6:M activity for this year.

Subject: Recommendation for a Dedicated 6M Antenna

Hi!

 

For the 6M band, I need recommendations for 1) which is the "best" type of
antenna and 2) specific recommendations for such antenna.  Basically, as far
as the type of antenna, for me it comes down to a) a di-pole, b) a vertical
or c) a j-pole.  Below are links to a vertical and also a J-pole I am
considering.  I do not have any specific di-pole in mind; so any
recommendations for one would be appreciated.  Whatever antenna I settle on,
it should cover 50 - 54 MHZ.
