Default Dipole advice?

Hi

Just about to make a dipole and have enough parts to make but only want to
climb once. 50 ft tower and lots of ladder line, coax, a 1:1 balun and lots
of copper wire and a nice manual tuner that has its own balun for hook up to
either the ladder line or coax.

Any idea which is best possible and practical application? Should I use the
ladder line or coax? Do I need the balun? I hope to use it for 10-160 as
this is what the rig is capable of.

Any advice or adeas or tricks of the trade are greatly appreciated, I hope
to only climb once, what works best?

thanks
Ron
