Cubex Quads recommends 1/4 wavelength 75 Ohm matching sections for each band. Might need 3/4 for the 10m driven depending how far from the relay box. So does this NCJ article. ncjweb.com/features/janfeb08feat.pdf

Dan,

Many thanks. That pretty much says what I wanted to know (and a whole lot more!)

It seems to me that a just reach length, or rather some arbitrary length close to that is going to be the best compromise.

The pentaband quad in the ARRL antenna book has had a couple of recommendations as a good design based on my web reading and it makes an interesting point with regard to the feeding method.
There is a very detailed study of the feed system for the ARRL
pentaband quad in the 5th section of this page:
