I'm near the point of installing an old 205BA (5

It will also act as a tophat for a 160/80/40 vertical.
I'd like to ground the driven element. Any thoughts as
to the best way to feed it?

The original antenna used a grounded 'beta match'. See <http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/hygain/205ba/> for the instruction manual. Also, there was an improved model called the 205CA. Hygain once had a kit to convert the BA to a CA. Maybe they still do!
