Default Antenna question

Greetings! I have been thinking about putting up a 40 meter dipole on my roof.
My roof runs 68' long so it sounded good to me. My question is this. I was
thinking about instead just putting up a longwire there instead. Would the
antenna work better for general shortwave listening if I made it an end fed
antenna instead of a 40 meter dipole? If it would work just as well as the
dipole I will just do that, but if it would work better for shortwave as an end
fed antenna I would prefer to do that just now as we are in the season. Give
me the benefit of your knowledge. Thanks a bunch and have a great week! Jon.
