I broke my radio antenna last night. Looks like the previous owner broke it at the base, and superglued it back together.

So what are my options? Another OEM or are there any aftermarket radio antenna (with the base) with good reception? TIA!
 
Last year I installed a stubby antenna.
It worked ok, but with less reception range than the OEM.
However, it also didn't rattle/spring back and forth when something nudged it.

It also broke when I was changing my heater core and accidentally swung my passenger door open all the way...
I replaced it with the OEM.

In the summer, I'm thinking about getting one of those CB/radio antennas, and mounting it in the rear next to my CB antenna - hoping to get decent range, but no annoyance from hitting it.
Either that, or a stubby again.

Note: the stubby wasn't "bad", it's just that the range wasn't as great as the OEM. That wasn't a big deal within the city, where I spend 95% of my time.
When on the highway where the radio range would be affected - I just used my bluetooth music player anyway.
