Good Question.
I started with the HDB91X. I combined it with a Radio Shack VU210XR.The mast is 35' above the roof peak. I found it to be an OK antenna until I barely tightened the coax to the balun and the fitting broke off of the board in the balun. I decided I wouldn't put that antenna up high where I can't get to it.
I got the idea that the 91 XG would be better quality and should go up the 35' mast and use the HBD91X on a lower mast where I can get to it if something breaks.
If I had to do it all over again, I would've bought 2 Winegard HD7698P's and put them on the same mast, but I am happy with what I have.
I almost did but 2 7698's but I needed a lot of height and I felt 2 7698's on the same mast that high up could cause wind worthiness problems, since they are fairly large.
The only drawback is my "poor mans tower" might appear gaudy to some that actually notice.
