Agreed, for an AP, if 360 coverage is needed, an omni with downtilt
is an appropriate option.

Not for clients.

Yep, for Clients, I use 12dbi Panel Antennas, which are very compact and
provide the required F/B Ratio and gain, for each link.

Looking for outdoor omni "whip" antenna for 2.4 GHz.

Is there any reason to not go for the greatest gain antenna, given that
cost is not too important (within reason)?

There are scads of these on the 'net. I'm looking for someone who has
experience with one or more of them and can make a recommendation for
one.

Thanks,

This antenna works great wit my laptop and desktop:
