Of the three antennas you've listed, the C5 is my preference. The C5 is a High-VHF antenna by design, but it does well in the UHF band also. As a H-VHF antenna, it's directional. As a UHF antenna, it tends to be an omnidirectional.
However, my personal choice is to go after the available signals. Some are weak due to the obstructing terrain, so I would probably opt for a Winegard HD7696P or even the 7698. Pointed at about 290° I would expect to do well with the local stations. I would be prepared to mount as high as safety and practicality would allow, though I would check the reception at lower levels first. An antennas Direct CPA-19 or Winegard HDP-269 preamp would also be needed.
If I wanted to chase after some of the other signals scattered around the compass, I would likely add a second separate antenna system dedicated to DX'ing.
