[Elecraft] K3 - 6 M antenna, 1/2 vert or 2 ele yagi?

[Darwin, Keith]

With my new K3, I'm faced with a rig that will run 6 meters but no antenna.  I'm waffling between a couple of choices, either of which would go on my roof, at a height of about 20 feet:
 
 

*	Cushcraft AR6 - 1/2 wave vertical
*	Diamond 2 ele yagi

 

My K3 is a 10 watt version so I think I need forward gain more than F/B ratio.  Also, I'll not be using a rotor of any kind so I don't want a multi-element yagi since beamwidth is too narrow to just point it & forget it.

 

I'm in VT and I believe ground conductivity to be average to poor.  While the 1/2 wave vert does not use the ground around the antenna, it still depends on the fresnel zone to develop its full pattern, right?

 

What do you suggest?
