What Brand would you recommend and why?
Brands include:

Quickstick from Quicksilver Radio
Lakeview
MFJ
Valor/Proam

Any real world experiences with any of the above antenna's.

The "hamstick" would be used for a NVIS ARES emergency dipole on 75m
and 40m. And yes, I know about the bandwith and effeciency. This
would be a temp, portable, emergency antenna.
