I ran two antennas on my pickup. One being a 5/8 wave on an Allen set screw affixed  type nmo lip engine hood mount, and the other being a 5/8 wave mag mount in middle of my pickups cab.  
testing from a fixed location the mag mount out performed the lip mount considerably on receive. It kind of blew my mind how much better. I kept going back and forth between the two antennas and each time the mag on the roof would pickup a couple extra “bars of signal” and audibly bring in a clearer signal. I try to not use repeaters as much as possible and a slightly better RX is a huge benefit between my home base and my mobiles. Just thought I’d add my experience as it kinda pertained to this threads topic.
