VHF Antenna

I'm installing a new mast and spreader bar on my 37 foot C&L Trawler. I'm thinking about installing a 4 foot 3db antenna on the spreader bar. This will put the tip of antenna about 8 feet higher than the 8 foot 6db antenna already installed on the side of the flybridge. Can anyone tell me if I will lose or gain by using the 3db antenna instead of the 6db? I also receive AIS info through the antenna.
