If you have the tower that will support the weight and heft of the antenna, I say go for it. There are "better" options in the sense that there's higher gain options. A 4 band cubcal quad with full length elements will have significantly more gain, for example. It's also a 3d antenna and has a significantly bigger footprint and windload though. A smaller, lighter, cheaper option is a hexbeam, but they have much less gain and f/b rejection. Keep in mind, a log driven antenna like your pic needs height. It's like a big dog in an apartment. It needs a big yard to roam, so plan on 45-60ft of height to get the most out of that antenna.
