Please Recommend a Quality VHF Masthead Antenna

My existing masthead VHF antenna is a skinny steel whip combined with windex, fed by a skinny coax cable. My mast is down and I'm taking the chance to replace everything.

I have no complaints about VHF comms. I use an Icom M604 and get good signal reports from great distances (75 feet of height probably don't hurt), but why not take the chance to install something good? Anyone have any recommendations?

Maybe some kind of dual band VHF/UHF antenna? I now have an amateur radio license and might play around with the VHF/UHF amateur frequencies - guess I could use an antenna switch.
