If both are brought to resonance with top loading, there will be a null overhead
with the hat and some high angle radiation with the L.
The L will actually have a bit of directivity (~2 dB) in the direction away from
the wire.
The L loading wire will be 80+ feet long, the hat with four wires will need ~55
feet, both assuming no droop.
Personally, I use an L.
