Default 3 beam comparason

hi

I was just wondering about how 3 antenna 'types' would compare, I can of
course pull the spec's off the manuf home pages, but wonder what a real
world interpratation would be and hope somone here might have either
used them or have some simular experience to share


a multiband log peridic and traditional multiband beam(w/or w/o traps)
and a optibeam

ofcourse there are pro's and con's of each but just wondering what
type might be 'mostly best' overall if you tried to just the playing
field as level as possible


didn't want this to be about cost per say, just overall performance, but
having said that, there sure is a big price swing on those types and I
wonder , if anyone one of those antenna types have a overall
tremendious benifit based soley on improving received signal strength to
warrent one getting it vs say another and or a cheeper one



tnx
