What has higher gain?
A vertical dipole or a a 5/8 lamda vertical?

A 5/8 WL vertical *with an excellent ground plane* has about
3 dB gain over a vertical 1/2WL dipole.

Is there any difference in gain between a center fed dipole or a 1/4
lamda matching stub feeding an end fed dipole such as the J-Pole?

Both radiating portions are 1/2WL so they have about the
same gain.
