ELT for DC-10

Pardon the seeming ignorance of the regs, but in the US we don't see ELT on large aircraft. I'm working with a part 91 operator of a DC-10 that will be going worldwide.

I know a 406 ELT is required; just need to know if we can get by with a portable, or if the full antenna/structural fit is required. If mounted permanently, where is the best location for antenna and transmitter? Which brands are best value? Installation cost can overwhelm unit price, of course, so that's paramount.

Thanks
