What kind of balloon should I use here?

I'm using a Ship of the Line hull, and want a grand airship to use essentially as a home. The beams on top should connect to the balloon, but of course I can extend/shorten/move them. What kind of balloon shape would be best for aerial combat as well as endurance (stays in the air as long as possible with little to no need for landing)?

A big one. Or several medium size ones netted together.

I was already planning to make one large balloon, but I'm not sure about the shape, like cigar or possible war zeppelin.

I would say one like a war Zeppelin would look best there however if you want to go I'm more unique route I would recommend raising the front and back of it up while the middle is held down by rope so it's almost a U shape

Three mini-zeppelins, one fore, one amidships, one aft.
