It just seems easier to mount the yagi on top of big multi-bay, but I'll probably do whatever results in the most gain.

Any recommendations for the rotor?

I have an overpriced Rat Shack UVSJ that a long-winded discussion I found on the Internet indicates is comparable to the Pico Macom everybody likes, so I will be using that.
