Default 40 meter dipole or 88 feet doublet

Hello,

As my 40 m. rotable dipole (2* 7 m. = 42 feet with coals) was damaged by the
storm I am thinking to make something different. The dipole height was at 40
feet.

I can increase the heigth with a pipe to 60 feet and make a 80m. dipole 2 *
20 m. (120 feet) Inv. V. (West/East) and a 40 meter dipole 2 * 10m ( 60
feet) or a doublet of 88 feet (South/North)? Both with ladder line.

I mainly work on 80/40 and 30 m. the other bands are nice to have.

The question is should I make the 40 m. dipole or the doublet or renew the
old rotable dipole? Or any other suggestions..
