[Elecraft] Mobile Antenna Choices

I'm trying to wrap my mind around something here and I figure the group can 
help me get things right.

I am planning to mount a mobile antenna specifically for use with my four 
band K-1 (40,30,20 & 15) (WITH a KAT-1 ATU unit installed)

I'm looking at two options:

Individual "hamsticks" or a similar loaded antenna (I would prefer not to 
get into screwdriver antennas, bug catchers and such )

The other way might be a simple 102" "CB" whip

I am trying to keep costs down because this is not going to be my primary 
operating system. It's just going to be for an occasional QSO during lunch 
breaks and while traveling to meetings.

What are you folks using and how is it working out for you?
