If you are going to be not far from water, it is hard to beat a vertical. I used some 50ft of wire attached to a 40ft spiderpole with a few 20ft radials. Some 20ft of TV line from the balcony to Elecraft BL2. KAT3 matched it on 80-10, and a coil was needed on 160m. When at the FL coast I worked DX on many bands including 160m!
One issue is the balun as it heats up particularly on 160m. Adding a big external one would be an overkill. A small transformer for 160-80 does better and is much lighter.
