Any difference between antennae types would be overshadowed by the degradation of adding a 45 degree adapter. Any extra part between the solder point on the chip and the radiating element of the antennae degrades the quality.

For quads cloverleaves are usually your best option. They offer a good signal regardless of the orientation of the quad, where a dipole has a lot more variation and degradation from reflected signals. Not really sure about the radiation pattern from an UXII, but it's circular polarised so reflection shouldn't be an issue.
Instead of a 45 degree adapter, just buy a cloverleaf with a slightly longer wire. It's much better for the signal, and you can bend them a full 180 degrees if you feel like it.
