However, a yagi can be rotated 90 deg to have vertical polarization thereby
avoiding the cross polarization attenuation which can be significant. Just
be careful of interaction between the yagi elements and the mast.
AND
A quad can be fed to have vertical polarization

Depends on how high the repeater antenna is and how much power you're
running -- to hit a repeater at that distance your best bet is
probably a small beam, regardless of polarization issues.

A beam would also be your best bet for general 6 meter work.

Six meter beams aren't all that expensive -- if you really want to
homebrew one, do a google search.
