They wanted to get the best possible antenna for going mobile(Car)
 
  True, one cannot use a 16 foot whip on the exact center of the car  for the 
best omni directional performance.
 
Some swear by a 7 foot whip that has a load coil in the middle.
 
 Should you go fiber glass or metal whip.  One thing for certain.  You want 
as much radiator
as you can. I have a home brew vertical. So I will scale it down.
 
  I would also consider 7 foot of fiber or metal. Then find a inductor  at 
the end of the 7 foot
rod. I would consider a loading coil and an additional 2 feet of solid  
radiator.
 
  I made a decent 20M ant out of 2 CB antenna'a  A 10/11 meter  whip can be 
found any where.
