I'd like some recommendations to buy an antenna, not build one

[dir]

For several reasons, it's not practical for me to build an antenna. I've read many posts on how to, but I'd really just like to buy an antenna, attach it to my roof, connect it, and get "good" reception. I live on top of a mountain with unobstructed views almost 360 degrees, overlooking the ocean.
I've tried searching for 1090Mhz ADS‑B receiver antennas and of course there are many. And they clearly require me to answer a few questions:

Where would it be installed?	On a (domestic, tar) roof, probably either to an existing ABS ventilation pipe or to the edge of the roof
How big do I want it to be?	Those white PVC pipe styles that are a foot or two/100-200cm seem sensible. I don't want to be erecting a great mast, nor do I need to just stick a 3" bit of wire up there. If a bit bigger makes a huge difference, that's OK too. I'd like to put something up that's robust as it gets extremely windy up here (top of mountain) and I don't want to worry about a frail bit of metal bending over.
How much do I want to spend?	Up to USD$100 seems fair.
How far away from my USB dongle will it be?	15 to 20 feet would be good. I could make it shorter if need be and ideally if it was longer (20-30 feet) that would be good, too
What distance would I like to pick up?	at least 100 nm (theoretically of course; but I have line of sight to several horizons so I think it's fair to expect at least 100 nm)
With such a location, why aren't I considering a full on mast antenna or similar "super dooper" antenna?	Because I'm setting this up as a set-and-forget for someone else and don't have the time or capacity to take up this hobby to any extent.

Hopefully I can get a couple of straightforward recommendations or links to amazon or something. Apologies if I blow a fuse on the home hobbyists that eschew ready-made over hand-made.

To my ignorant eye, these ones seem "ok", but it's likely I don't have the knowledge of others in this forum and I'd prefer to not buy a dud if I can be pointed in the right direction. Thanks!

have a look at the Vinnant website from Slovakia https://vinnant.sk/store
They have good quality antennas for a fair price.

For the US this one is recommended :

For the EU this one:

The second one is hard to ship to the US due to size requirements by customs.

Thanks for that advice. I bought the EU one since it's a newer model. I wasn't sure what you meant by problems shipping to the US but since I live in Canada I figured I'd try. Shipping cost CA$25 and the antenna arrived today, so it only took 7 days from order to door. I also ordered the low-loss 10m cable they recommend.

I've installed it on my roof attached to a 2" PVC pipe and I now have the cable dangling off my roof approximately where I want it. I'm now searching online for a guide on what else needs to be done. While there seem to be plenty of guides for DIY cantennas and a few for DIY co-linear builds, nobody seems to have written much about what needs to be done for installing one.

Apart from the obvious "attach it to the top of something sticking up, on your roof", I get the impression that there's quite a bit more involved. I'll make another post in here to see if anyone can point me to existing guides. I've spent an hour seaching online and I'm now an expert in installing TV antennas or cutting coke cans, but alas still ignorant of what I seek.

Hi, did you receive any helpful advice on mounting this antenna? Like using stainless steel mounting hardware; self amalgamating tape for weatherproofing connectors; securing feeder cable to prevent excess movement in wind; being careful not to exceed the bending radius of the cable, mounting height?? Forget the alarmists about lightning protection, it is has a glass fibre radome and need only be mounted at a height where it can "see" down to the horizon at 0degrees. Any higher is pointless for your location.
Hope it is all working well for you.
