Which comm antenna choice have people found cost effective for belly mounting? Straight vs bent whip? The cheaper bare metal with ring connectors or more costly plastic with BNC connector?

I used the cheap bent whip, http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/av/antenna_com/av534.php, and it works great. Just make sure you don’t tighten the nut on the ceramics too tight. After 7 years no issues with talking to tower on the ground even though it’s below the airplane, mine is located abeam the battery behind the baggage bulkhead.

Electrically you would need a very sensitive antenna range to measure any
performance difference between the straight or bent whip. The bent whip
however provides practical advantage for mounting. Get one with the BNC
connector to mitigate ring connectors corroding over time - and the BNC
connector minimizes the "impedance bump" introduced with ring connectors.

I like the Rami bent whip for a good mount with BNC connector but cheaper than the Commant.
