Hi. If I want to talk abrefoot and run a dipole for 27 MHz in my attic, I
noticed there are numerous versions. The vertical is out for obvious
reasons. So
there are inverted and horizontal. Is there any version I am better off
using
barefoot?

If you don't want to mess with punching a few holes in your roof, then go
with a tower.
You'd only need 5 10 foot sections at the most.
Rohn 25 towers are simple and quick to put together.
You can find used ones dirt cheap at practically any "ham fest".

With such a small base, 18" or so, setting the tower in a cement filled hole
is a snap.
You could even use a foldup section with it.
We've lifted 40ft upright with no trouble.
Under 60 feet, you don't even need guy wires.
But one set at 40 ft might not be a bad idea.
Set it up next to the house and you don't need to worry about trenching the
coax.

If you go the tree route, and trench the coax, put it in conduit or even
some pvc pipe.
And for 150 feet, I'd use Rg8, not 58.
