It depends on your goals.

If you want the absolute maximum telemetry, then you want a regular beam and rotator, same as you would use for QSOs.  I have that for normal SatCom and some coax switches/relays to switch it from my radio to my FunCube Dongle/FoxTelem.

Normally, I use homemade Lindenblads for my FoxTelem telemetry and also the same set with a splitter for my SatNogs station.  The most recent AMSAT Journal had two designed for 3D printed 70cm Lindenblads, although the ones I am currently using are AA2TX's (search for AA2TX Lindenblad--there are two different articles/designs, one for each band).

I have also mentioned in the past that I have had surprisingly good luck with an Arrow Antennas dual-band J-pole.  It is not going to pull in as much as a beam and has a few null spots (like right off the end), but it is inexpensive, dual-band, no building required.
