Default screwdriver vs. tuner

I'm planning to get a Yaesu FT-857D and operate mobile HF on as many
bands as possible. I see two options so far for my Jeep Wrangler- a
102" whip with a tuner or a screwdriver antenna. Which is the better
way to go?


Depends on what you mean by better.

One caveat on autotuners; most I've looked at will be marginal at
tuning a 102" whip on 40 and won't tune lower than that.

If you decide on an autotuner, read the specs carefully before you buy.
