It will likely depend on where you plan to mount it. I went with 4' to ensure I had enough antenna sticking out above the jeep with the gate mount.

^this....4' here as well, in short range communications I don't think the 1' is gonna amount to much though

I have the 4' mounted off the license plate mount. I barely clip my garage when I pull in.

I have the 4' firestik and I don't think it will matter too much. I have mine mounted on top of my tire carrier on top of 4.5" of lift and 37's it's pretty far up there. Whenever I go through a drive through it tags the little bar hanging down but no damage done.
