Deep fringe antenna recomendations?

I have a cabin in N Minnesota and am looking at adding TV. Here's my signal analysis:

The antennas I am considering are:

Winegard HD8200U

AntennaCraft HD1850

Though I see many recommend the Winegard HD 7084P

I'll have a cable run of < 100' and will use a rotator. I'll be split at the first TV at about 30' of cable with the rest running to the second. I'm not sure which preamp to use

Channel Master CM7777, Channel Master CM7778 or Winegard LNA200. It there such thing as too much gain on them

I should add that reception is better than the report. Here's the report for my dad's place next door:

and he pulls in channel 8 very clear. He's running an older equivalent of the above AC with a rotator and preamp (unknown type/spec) with about 50' of cable.

Please let me know what you recommend. Note the location is remote, and gets heavy snow/ice during the winter as well as large birds (bald eagles and turkey vultures) sitting on the antennas.

Thanks for you help guys!!
