Considering the saturation level of most commercial FM stations, using a simple whip antenna will prove more than adequate. While a wide-range log-periodic antenna might prove useful as you get farther into your research, especially for broadband signals requiring a directional antenna, using simpler tools while learning is usually beneficial.
