You should do that anyway, magnetic antennas aren't the best...

Magnet mount antennas do work fine, though if you're open to permanently installing it, I'd say do that simply because you lessen the chance of it falling off or getting stolen.

FWIW, the forward bedrail works great with a full-length whip (96-102"). Shorter antennas don't work so well though because the cab blocks too much of it (they'd be fine on the bedrail back by the tailgate however).

Short antennas can easily be mounted to the roof center with a 25 dollar ball swivel mount. Just be sure to measure twice, cut once, and use RTV to ensure a good seal.
