That would depend largely on what band(s), or frequencies you're monitoring.

ie; 40MHz, 150MHz, 450MHz, 850MHz?

There are some multi-band antennas that are OK for everything, but not great for anything. If it's a single band your going after, or having problems with, there are much better choices. For instance if you can receive what you want on the 450MHz, and 850MHz bands just fine, but are having problems with a distant station on the 150MHz band, etc.

I woud suggest a scanner beam, or better yet, a yagi. DPD productions has them, scannermaster has them for specific bands like 140-170mhz. If you can get a rotor you can point it in any direction needed, or just mount it pointing in a certain direction without one. You can still hear signals from all around with most of them, with the most gain of course being from the direction you point it in.
