Need advice on antenna setup TV Fool report included

Hope someone can give me some advice on antennas preamps etc . I have been pouring through post and have learned alot but want to be sure I do this right .
I am looking to drop my Directv and go OTA.
I am in a rural location. Nearest trees are to the E / NE and are 150 feet from antenna location . Trees are 50 feet tall . The TV Fool report was with a 20 foot antenna , 30 feet would be the max. I would want to go.

Here is the TV Fool report

The easiest antenna system operationally would be a 91XG aimed at 4° and a Y10-7-13 aimed at 128°. Use a 7777 preamp in the separate VHF/UHF mode to add them together.

You'd get a full set of networks from the north and CBS from the SW. PBS and CW might work, try it first. If not consider either a rotator or a third or forth antenna with A/B/C switches.

Thank You Tower Guy
I followed your advice and went with the 91XG antenna and preamp.
Pulling in all the networks and PBS couldn't ask for better results.
