One of those 3 boom wideband things?

I wouldn't use a wideband antenna in a marginal signal area for the same reason that you wouldn't use say, a log periodic to work troposcatter on 432MHz. A conventional, grouped yagi (of acceptable quality, not Maplin or B&Q junk) would surely suffice for the OP.
