Default Any compact HF beams worth considering?

I'm really short of space for antennas, but I think I might be able to
get away with one of the small HF beams I see advertised if it could be
mounted on a roof-top tripod. Dimensionally, I think a conventional
3-element beam would fit, but I don't think a roof-top mount would be
adequate.

Are any of these even worth considering?

I use a 9ft Glen Martin with an A-4S. Its not a DX Killer but you
will work them.

20-25ft up has it limitations on some DX but its doable.

The little hy gain TH 2 works well for a small antenna, but is power limited
