Antenna (OEM vs. Aftermarket)

I have been scouring the internet trying to find an used OEM antenna that doesn't have a bent mast but have fallen short. So, my question is if I go aftermarket is the best route to take the one from Tom's OR have other's used other aftermarket that will fit our factory fender hole that can provide me info?
Thanks

I had one of these from Bronco Graveyard on my '71. Aftermarket Antenna-Broncograveyard.com It was cheap, it fit OK, and it worked fine. The down side was that it didn't retract all the way into the fender and it eventually got destroyed on tree branches fourwheeling.

Then I got one of the OEM style from Bronco Graveyard OEM Antenna, Bronco-Broncograveyard.com A lot more money, but it retracts to almost flush with the fender, so it shouldn't get damaged by tree branches (assuming I remember to push it down all the way). Only complaint is that it slowly shortens itself as I drive, so every couple of days I pull it up a little bit and call it good.
