Default Circular versus linear polarization

I have been looking for a decent CP design to try out on my
repeaters .
For many years I have been looking at the reasoning for FM
broadcasters having used CP pol with great success.

I also have a small indication that linear antennas (eg:linear
collinears)and non-linear antennas(eg:folded loop dipoles) by design
may have slightly different characteristics in the far field that
tend towards a greater degree of cross/CP from the mechanical design .

Anyone had good success with installing a CP repeater antenna(2m or
70cm) to assist with the deap fade nulls in mobile uplink to the
repeater.
I want to try rhp for TX and lhp for RX - anyone tried this
combination before?
