One of three reasons why I dislike fiberglass antennas - internal elements 
break, water ingress after several years, and most importantly - lightning 
failure.

I like the folded dipole arrays. Very few issues. But that's just my opinion 
(yet you appear to be having your own doubts about the reliability of the 
fiberglass ones).
