A wideband aerial tends to be a compromised design.

Not so - log periodic aerials can be wide band and have a superb DP.

I'm aware of that because I have a Blakes' log periodic pointing at a
transmitter 18 miles away where both channel 24 and 59 are required for
digital reception. It has a similar performance to the very large
wideband array it replaced - after 25 years of service bits fell off of
the original aerial

Most widebands being sold as digital aerials are not a log periodic
design.
