It would be helpful to see the TV Fool Report for this location.

Generally, the best location for an amplifier is ahead of the loss. So 'at the antenna' is generally the ideal location.

You have many choices when picking an amplifier. Preamplifiers are usually intended to mount outside, on the mast at the antenna. Distribution amplifiers usually are not intended for mounting in the weather. The reason I ask for your TVFR is that some will be excellent in weak signal applications but won't be able to handle strong signals.
