If you have room for a double Zepp then the best bet is the Moxon
dipole
with a resonator. It will supply the same gain as a zepp and has the
advantage
of operation over an octave by varying the value of the capacitor from
which
the resonatator is made of. This also removes the added coax stub
procedure.
required of a zepp.
