Default Large Wire Antenna for 17m

I have some space and some high trees. I already use a 400ft doublet with
atu for several bands and a 30m half square and get good results. I want to
improve my performance on 17m. I am now thinking about a wire antenna with
reasonable performance for 17m only. I have thought about a full wave loop,
even a bobtail. A broadside array would be great but I am not keen on
antennas with reflectors or directors because of the complexity of support
ropes. So, really some kind of antenna supported by ropes from two trees
would be ideal. Any ideas please?


Omnidirectional or directional?
