I have always insulated mine and broken them every 10.5 ft (Not a resonant length on any Ham band or CB). This includes those that I have done for commercial sites too.

Others will say don't insulate or break them, but all I can say is that in 30yrs plus of working in the trade I have never had issues caused by using insulated/ broken guys.
