Depends on how high the repeater antenna is and how much power you're
running -- to hit a repeater at that distance your best bet is
probably a small beam, regardless of polarization issues.

A beam would also be your best bet for general 6 meter work.

Six meter beams aren't all that expensive -- if you really want to
homebrew one, do a google search.
