Default Antenna

There is nothing wrong with the hustler you are considering except that it is some what narrow banded unless used against a tuner.
BUT, I will recommend that you look at the Little TAR-Heal 2 screwdriver antenna and the MFJ-1924 controller (memory box).
The screwdriver antenna by itself would let you "TUNE" for minimum reflected power by it's self and the MFJ-1924 gives you quick positioning as well as a manual fine tune if necessary, all with out need of a tuner.
I have been using this arrangement on my pick-up for several years now with no complainants and good reports.
Yes the combination is a bit pricey initially, but the long term is working out quite well (for me at least).
