The 5/8 wave antenna is your best option, especially if your tx power is below 5w.
Now if you really want to throw a big flame...then assemble a multi-bay antenna system comprised of 3 or more folded dipole elements, spaced 1/4 wave apart, and 1/4 wave from the tower. To properly phase the arrays, use 1/2 wave length chunks of coax for each bay using T fittings. To have beam tilt to drop the outer edge of the signal back down to the horizon, decrease the lengths of the coax feeds from the T fittings by about an inch or two compared to the very top array. The shorter the lower feed coaxes, the more beam tilt you will get. Usually this is not necessary, but in some terrains there may be hills between the antenna and a section of the town, which your signal will just fly right over that sunken portion of area on the other side of the hill. Beam tilt will compensate and bring the signal back down to the horizon instead of it all just shooting up past the atmosphere and into space.
