which wilson antenna is best?

I am confused and getting frustrated please help. I want to order the best sleek and antenna I can get that will work with numerous phone systems. At Amazon they have a model 813426 for $130. They also have a model 815126 for $99. I assume I will want a good antenna and maybe 50 feet of wire to reach well above my ladder. I know this has been addressed before but I just can't find it right now. The sleek for $130 comes with "Sleek 4G all-in-one cradle, outside vehicle magnet-mount antenna, cigarette-lighter power adapter, and installation guide." Is this antenna any good or do I need something more? How about added cable? I assume this will plug into 110 somehow?

Thanks folks. It's great to have a reliable source of help.

    50ft of coax?

    That will eat up any possible gain ( or advantage) that you might get by using a external antenna even with amplifier.

    With the frequencies used for cell phones you NEED to have the LEAST amount of coax involved as possible...

    I'd call Wilson, I've found them helpful to deal with when I had questions.

    Wilson has a wireless system. I suggest you call them. They have been very helpful.

    With the Sleek Cradle the phone has to be in the cradle to work, I have one and it works great. A system that does not require the phone in the cradle would be more flexible and of greater use. :)
