Any particular type of antenna better at rejecting noise

In general, higher gain, narrower beam and better f/b ratio antennas will do better. More directors can improve the first two and better reflectors the third. Stacking horizontally and vertically can also help significantly. It's not really that simple though. It's best to refer to the detailed modelling graphs for a particular antenna to determine reception patterns and other characteristics.

is any particular type better suited for circular or elliptical polarization as opposed to strictly horizontal polarization

I assume you mean circular and elliptical polarization. In general, yagi worst, circular or square the best. For strictly better vertical polarization, a vertically oriented yagi would be best.

 

Thanks for your reply.

Are dual/twin loops same as stacking ? And besides gain does stacking improve beam width and f/b ratio ?
I did mean circular or elliptical You are right it would be circular and elliptical so that it works on both because some channels/stations use circular and some use elliptical.

 

Stacked elements tend to make beam width narrower. Stacking antennas also tends to narrow the beam width. The direction of stacking and distance between the antennas can be varied for different results. It won't do much for f/b ratio.
