Default your HF antenna ... insulated backstay, other ?

for those who use HF on their boat, i'm curious what antenna choices
you have made. did you go with an insulated backstay or something else
entirely ? how do you have it all set up on your boat ? i've read
that some people just hoist a wire up with some line and hook it to
their antenna tuner (with a ground of course). are you doing anything
more or less fancy ? if you're using an insulated backstay do you
trust the insulators to keep the mast up ? how much maintenance is
involved in your HF antenna setup ? i'm just curious in general what
solutions people have found since i'm researching it now.

thanks in advance.
