If you have ability to put up short dipole at height of 90 feet then you
probably have ability to put up 80 feet vertical with about a 50 foot
horizontal wire connected in center to the vertical portion. I would choose
that over any other option you mentioned. Four elevated quarter wavelength
radials above ground by ten feet or more will work fairly well. Experiment with
a big hairpin coil across feed point to raise R up to 50 ohms for a good match.
