Linear antenna on the quad - what's the best antenna on your goggles ?

Little linear dipole antennas are all the rage - especially on micros. So what antenna on your goggles will give you the best image. Let's do a head-to-head comparison to try and find out.
Tommy's patch antenna will soon be on his new website (which isn't live yet) until that time, you can find him over on this thread on fpvhub
I was flying with the QAV105 which was supplied by Banggood The QAV105 -
I equipped it with a FrSky XM+ receiver
I was using the Realacc diversity Rx
Although I think it's probably more convenient to have both antennas in one like this one
Perhaps one thing to take away from this is that the amount of range / quality of signal you have isn't dictated by the amount of mw in your VTX, but a combination of factors including noise floor, having a clean signal and the environment you fly in. In that field on my own 25mw will take me far far away :)
Update: So why is linear to linear worse than linear to skew ?
Coyote from fpvhub.com answered this one really nicely for me, and it all make sense. He said -
-------
"Because of polarization loss.
Linear to linear is perfectly polarized, until either end is not perfectly vertical, then db losses are incurred degrading the signal by up to -26dBi.
With linear to circular polarization, a -3dBi loss is already incurred but because the circular antenna is circular the movement in the linear polarisation incurs no more thereafter."
-------
So there you go, keep using circular polarized antennas on your goggles with linears on the quad, and add on a patch to your diversity module if you want more range/tree penetration
