Default Satellite vertical vs. horizontal

This is a question I posted a little while back on
rec.radio.amateur.satellite, but never received any response, maybe because
there is not a good answer. But here it is again:

I like to try to make occasional satellite contacts, usually on VO-52, and
have a place for only one antenna. In the past I have used a dual band
Diamond X-50 vertical, but now I am wondering if something like KU4AB's dual
band
E-factor horizontal loop might be a better choice. Any opinions?

Thanks.
