For sky in ireland there are 2 dish sizes zone 1 45cm and zone 2 60cm. These are usually mesh as they look better. The difference in a solid and mesh for perfomance is minimal. By the sea the problem is salt air = rust and sky dishes are very good at rusting. The best dish would be one with plastic mounts and a treated dish ie powder coated. I have not seen anywhere for plastic fittings so get a triax 64cm thats powder coated and give the fixings a good daub of hammeriite paint and it will last your lifetime.
