Add an NMO mag mount, but stick with the name brands. Avoid the Cheap Chinese Antenna manufacturers, as well as the hobby/amateur grade stuff. You might save a few bucks, but you'll come out ahead in the long run if you use commercial/public safety grade stuff.
You won't do better than Larsen. I'm running Larsen antennas that are nearing 30 years old. They are a reputable company that backs up their products. They aren't cheap Chinese knockoff antennas.

Bell Atlantic Cellular Magnet Mount, found in fleamarkets, garage/yard sales and dumpsters all over the world - TNC adapter will exceed antenna cost.

The Larsen antenna mentioned above has worked well for several years for me on two cars . A long time ago I bought several antennas and compared them to the Larsen . The Larsen was the best all around antenna .
Is the antenna you posted the same as the one listed on eBay for 10 bucks cheaper also sold by antenna farm. Larsen NMO150/450/800 Mobile Antenna Tri-Band 150-165, 450-470 & 806-940 MHz | eBay

Sort of.
Same brand antenna.
The NMO-150/450/800 is the older model.
The newer model, NMO-150/450/758 was designed for 700MHz trunked systems, it added the spring and changed the base.
Honestly, either one would work fine for what you are doing.
