A 1:1 balun (balanced-to-unbalanced) at the dipole and coax (75 ohm)
and a 6.666:1 UNUN (unbalaced-to-unbalanced) between the coax and the
S350DL would be the ideal setup.

Oh chit, it is folded dipole, duh!

A 1:1 current choke and forget the slight mismatch!

Actually, that is in error. Since the folded dipole is balanced and the
500 ohm terminals on the receiver show they are unbalanced, the 1:1
balun should suffice. It seems you will be going from 300 twinlead
(balanced) to the 500 ohm terminals.

450 ohm feedline with a 1:1 balun is yet another option ...
