If you are going to have a CB Radio, have a pro set it up for you. I just had it done and had the antenna matched to the CB. You can have it Boosted also although that conflicts with what the FCC will allow.
Having a 'pro' match the radio and antenna does not guarantee performance, just a good match.
Linear amps are and have always been illegal, although the FCC likely won't bother you provided your operations don't interfear with other operations. Crossing the border may be a different story though.
