Andrew DB404, you never want to cheap out on the antenna or cable and remember height is always might. I would rather have a 10W repeater at 200 feet vs a 50W repeater at 40. A little pricier then the other 2 options but commercial grade, has resale value and also makes a good base antenna.https://www.discounttwo-wayradio.com/db404-b I stand by these all metal monsters, and use a combination of DB404, DB408, DB420 and a DB411 for different sites and systems. Last thing i stress is antenna gain, more is not always better terrain and desired coverage should dictate the gain required. Lots of hills and buildings require lower gain and open flat areas can benefit from more.

I had decided to go with this 

Comet Original CA-712EFC

I used this antenna for a couple years. exceptional omni performance. I think it is non-tunable, but comes pre-tuned for 467. It comes collapsed connected by coax that slides inside as you assemble it. It flexes quite a bit in 30 to 40 miles winds, I would expect damage in winds exceeding 60mph. I can not give a better recommendation for an omni as decided to switch to a yagi and a rotor.
