Nigel,
Tough question! Really depends on what instruments you plan on having. As Cam said, the Archer antenna has been pretty popular, but it is only for your NAV radio (including Glideslope and Localizer).
After that you need to decide what additional avionics your going to carry.
A marker beacon antenna can also go in the wing tip with the Archer antenna. A 40" piece of copper foil seems to work fairly well.
A panel mount GPS requires another antenna, is relatively easy to mount, just needs to point up (under the canopy bubble works fine). A handheld GPS will typically not need a external antenna, but then it isn't IFR legal either except for situational awareness.
An ADF (yeah, they still make them, but why anyone woud bother is beyond me) is at least one antenna mounted on the belly, and possibly another on top. Most NDB approaches have GPS overlays these days, and they are in fact starting to phase out some NDB approaches. Yeah, GPS needs to be certified to be legal.
Loran is still around, and probably will be for a while, but like the ADF, why bother? Needs an antenna that looks like a COMM antenna, can be mounted either on top or the belly.
A DME is a small antenna the same size as your transponder antenna, needs to be belly mounted. Absolutely needed if you want to fly above FL180, and for some approaches, but a GPS (Certified one, of course) can be substituted in most cases.
Don't forget that you also need to mount your COMM (a bent whip on the belly works well and is reasonably aerodynamic), transponder and ELT antenna somewhere before it's all over with! Then there's the XM radio, weather radar, strikefinder.......
Always a matter of choices!
