Shark fin for cd400

Does anyone know what shark fin i can get that will still have good reception? Ive got the standard cd400 non DAB and hate the way the aerial looks. Ive seen loads cheap on ebay but dont know if they will be any good.

I ran mine to c-pillar then dropped it down (remove kick panel trim along doors) and then ran it along with the other wires then I ran across to the Radio. You can run it either side.
