I have built the cantenna, the double quad and the Patch.
So far the strongest signal is with the Patch, see:

Very simple to build.
I disconnected the antenna from inside a dongle and connected the
Patch to the dongle thru about 2" of RG58a. Then I ran usb cable to my
laptop.
I suggest drilling the recommended feedpoint hole and then one toward
the center about .05" and one toward the edge .05". I moved mine closer
to the edge and gained more signal. On my second Patch I didn't cut off the
corners and I adjusted feedpoint position. My strongest signal so far.
