I'm not sure what you say is true. I've been led to beleive that most UK
FM stations are vertical or slant. That ubiquitous "halo" you see, is
always mounted horizontally though. Perhaps wrongly.

Mostly mixed polarization.

So, I suppose use a vertical or horizontally polarized antenna, no
difference. Preferably vertical to cater for the odd vertically polarized
station.
