Antenna for GMRS repeater?

[WRTC928]

I know I'm likely to get a lot of differing opinions, but that's okay.

If you were putting up a GMRS repeater, what antenna would you use, assuming that for the time being, you're going to put it on a 30' telescoping flagpole?

I DID put up a GMRS repeater and I used the Tram 1486.  I chose it because of its low price, low weight, very low wind-profile and because it does not look like a space-ship antenna.  It's also very simple to tune.

Comet 712efc because it doesn’t need tuning, hears everything and tx over 200miles and its only $40 more then other junk

While the Comet CA-712EFC is a good antenna, it might be overkill and too big for what the OP needs. Especially since he is using a 30 foot telescoping flag pole. Plus we don't know what the local terrain is like where he lives. He might be better suited with something with a little less gain than the CA-712EFC.

And yet again, not everyone lives in a flat and wide open desert where they can tx over 200 miles. That kind of distances is quite rare for most of the country.
