?Windshield antenna or not?

[smokenjoep01]

Before I go buy a new windshield. I was wondering about radio antennas. Is there a better option than a antenna in the glass? I like that idea (clean look), but have heard they suck for reception.
Whats my other options for antennas?
I do know of some small hidden antennas I use in the motorcycle industry that we hide in the fairings of the touring bikes. They even have decent reception. I could hide it in the inside of the dash.
Comments, suggestions appreciated.
