For what it's worth, the three wire approach is probably more realistic. If
you're actually building an inverted V, the center support/balun/coax
termination/etc probably has some finite width. It also makes the angle
between adjacent segments smaller, which "works better"... I almost always
put my feed points as a small standalone wire with one segment. It means
that when doing the EX card, I don't have to worry about which segment I'm
feeding, and, when writing simple "grep" type macros to find things like
segment current, it's also easier.
