Question Best Type of Antenna?

I have a 94 Camry and it has a manual antenna in the a-pillar.
personally i find it looks kind of ugly, but it is bareable

do you think it is worth changing to a Power Antenna (full auto or semi auto) or a In-glass antenna? or just leave it the way it is now?

Fuck the stock antenna....get an XM antenna and be done with the 40 foot tall wire P.O.S.(Then again if you dont place it right the antenna falls off and isnt covered by warranty.

when i say 'full auto' and 'semi auto' im refering to the way the power antenna raises and retracts. With full auto, whenever you turn on the radio, the antenna automatically goes up to its maximum high. but with semi auto there should be a seperate switch where you can raise or retract the antenna to your own desired high
