Default Which Digital Antenna?

I started purchasing the electronics for my new boat I take delivery of in the spring. I just purchased the Icom 502 radio but need some advise. I wish to purchase a 8 foot VHF Digital brand antenna but they seem to offer more than one. Which model would you recommend? The 500 series?

The 500 series is the one to get. I don't think I know a DIGITAL owner that has any other series on their boats.
