ANY two antennas delivering reasonable signal strength on the rx band can be
quite useful for stereo diversity reception.

I've been using diversity since 2003, on the Orion and the K3 (see
http://n1eu.com/K3/diversity.htm ) 

Even two dipoles at different heights in the same direction can be quite
useful - you've got arrival angle diversity.  So just experiment - antennas
need not be elaborate or widely spaced.

I often use tx antenna plus Beverage on all bands (yes Beverage is often
helpful on 15M and occasionally on 10M) and normally use two Beverages on
160M/80M.

Besides any advantage in improving signal readability, the stereo effect
that diversity provides is a very enjoyable listening experience.
