In case anyone is following the story, I thought I'd report that I had a very encouraging test of a vertical 1/2-wave dipole antenna this past weekend. The useful range when driven by a cheap Jameco transmitter kit (with very questionable tuning precision/stability) is about 20 feet, which is really quite ideal. I'm currently working on the circuit design around the SiLabs part I mentioned before. I'm designing the circuit to drive the antenna directly but with a header where I can plug in a balun / amplifier if needed.

Thanks again for the input, friends!
