Default Best antenna for a starter with an IC718 base rig?

I just bought an IC718 over the weekend, along with power supply, and
antenna tuner. Now the only thing I have left to decide is what to
use
for an antenna. Basically, I plan to use the rig for DX'ing,
ragchews, maybe (maybe**) learning CW, mostly going to do SSB/voice.
May at some point try out/experiment with some data modes (the rig
will be near my computers afterall). So the question is, what is a
good
choice/source (hopefully high quality/relatively inexpensive) for
antennas.

Thanks,
-Jeff
