Try it with and without to see which way is better. The Antronix is a distribution amp. It is designed to compensate for distribution losses. It is used to replace an ordinary splitter if the signals are too weak after splitting.
A preamp is used at the antenna to amplify the signals before going down the coax downlead. A preamp can have its power inserter down below. The coax downlead that carries the signals down can also send DC power up to the preamp. You would rarely need both a preamp and a distribution amp.
