I would do both the helix backbone, and the entire helix, so that you 
can test whether the sidechains compensate for the net dipole or the 
other way around. You could also look at the net dipole of the water 
with resect to the helix.

As for trjconv, please read the manual about aligning structures 
(trjconv -h)
