I use an MFJ-986 tuner. Overkill for sure on a reciever, but you can
adjust the cap and inductor to "peak" any signal on any frequency (HF).
Easily possible to get 2 or 3 S units improvement. My current antenna
is 182 foot dipole, fed with 450 ohm ladderline. A 4:1 balun is in the
tuner.
I agree with Bob, a variable tuner will give greater results than just
picking one particular frequency and balun.

Once you're above the AGC threshold ''S'' units don't matter. Signal
to noise is where it's at (bottles and cans, clap your hands).
