I've never seen a refererence book for "sailboat antennas" what came up with any conclusion beyond "Your mileage will vary and there is no one solution that can be said to be superior on all boats."
That includes the ARRL antenna books, and Gordon West.
The variables of rigging and electrical interactions with the boat and all that other fun stuff simply ensure that on each boat, for each rig, something will work best. But you'll need careful test protocols, specific definitions of "best" for your purposes, and a good bit of hands-on testing in order to find out what's "best" for your boat.
