There really isn't much difference in blind friendliness in many antennas.
Once tuned to resonance on whatever frequency you want them, just let it 
alone.
Most will at least work reasonably well out of the box.
So it really depends on the logistics of your situation.

I personally use an Arrow antennas dual band j-pole.
Very simple to erect, and no tuning required.
Three pieces of aluminum rod, two nuts, one plastic shoulder washer, and an 
aluminum angle bracket with a u-bolt for mast mounting.

Another simple and reasonable antenna is the discone from radio shack.  NO 
gain, but coverage of 2, 1.25, meters and 70 cm.
