Fully insulated vs bare wire will not make ANY difference
in bandwidth, etc...the bandwidth is determined by the radiation resistance and reactance of the vertical element for the most
part and by the ground resistance of the radial system for the rest....adding insulated wire will NOT improve anything..other than preventing the wire from rusting or corroding depending on the wire used and the amount of corrosives in the air (salt water, etc)...

Don,
The majority of your suggestions seem right on the mark, however, there is one which I am wondering about. I don't understand in your statement above what is gained (antenna operation wise) by covering the radial wires with
plastic like insulation material.
