Jim,
I always thought of Beverage as directional antenna that favors low angles. 
Is it not so?
Regarding diversity, I always use two antennas (usually beaming West and 
East) practically on all the bands. This helps not only to fight multy path 
propagation but allows listening to weak signals from the east on sub RX 
without AGC being offset by strong signals from the west. This is invaluable 
capability for those, working pileup in contests.
