[ICOM] Good aftermarket HT antennas

[John Geiger (NE0P)]

Does anyone on the list have a recommendation for a good aftermarket HT antenna to use.  I have an Icom T81A and am looking for a good performing 2/440 antenna for it.  I am not interested in anything longer than 10 inches or so due to practical considerations. I am looking for 1 antenna around 5-8 inches for regular use, and a second "mini antenna" around 1-2 inches for close in work, which I need to minimize the size of the HT and antenna package.  Here are some antennas I am looking at:

Full sized
Comet SMA503, SMA3, SMA703 (with 1.2G)
Diamond SHR519
Maldol MH-511 with 6 meters
MFJ 1713S, 1716S
Pryme RD9SMA

Mini antennas
Comet SMA501
Diamond SRH805 with 1.2g
Maldol AS-25
Pryme RD2SMA
MFJ 1719S

Any suggestions?
