There is no "best".

There is a trade-off between something long and efficient but needs to be pointed in the right direction (oops - what am I talking about!) and something small and omni-directional that is fixed and is hugely less effective.

Have a look here:

hi the one that camperkev suggested wiouldn't be as good as the one suggested by the other chap. the first one you would have to put up everytime you stoped, i know coz i had one. the status one is a better one coz itys fixed to the roof of you van and operates by seaching a 360 degree patern tio pick up a signal. you could have it working while you are driving(no good for you but great for the kids.

I have found new status ariels very good for digital tv they used to be a bit hit and miss for analog telly, but get new one rather than used or one only a couple of years old as the older ones dont pick up digital dont forget the signal booster that goes with them must be a newish one too
