As tonyp063 writes, you'd lose too many channels with a DB8e without an additional dedicated high-VHF antenna and a combining network. The DB8e will not receive real channels below 14, including WJLA ABC, WUSA CBS, WDCN, WMDO and WWPX. So one of the HBU antennas would be better for you.

If you wanted to put the DB8e and dedicated VHF antenna on the roof, you'd have a shot at getting the pink stations and maybe into the gray if conditions were really favorable.
