Default Best all round antenna?

Hi there ladies and gents. I have a question that has most likely come up
here before, and I do apologise if this is visiting old ground.

I am a novice limited license holder in Australia and pretty soon I will
have access to the 10-15 and 80M bands. I would like to know what you
consider as being the best all round antenna for my purpose? I have plenty
of room to mount an 80M dipole antenna, although height is a problem. I can
go up no more than about 50 feet.

I also have a mast and rotator, so a triband yagi is also on the cards.

Just looking for decent ideas here guy's. I know the question is fairly
open ended, but I would like to consider all my options from those who have
all the best knowledge of what works and what doesn't. To wire or not to
wire? To beam or not to beam? To G5RV??????

I am running a TS-850, an MFJ 989C Tuner running 100W out of the box.

Thanks very much for your time and I really appreciate your response to my
questions.

Warmest regards
