Welcome to the forum, NEOHMatt:

I've found a number of different ones online, but nothing seems to cover both UHF and VHF well.

there are 3 TV bands, based on the real channel on your tvfool report, not virtual channel:
VHF-Low, real channels 2-6; not many channels there; antennas very large
VHF-High, real channels 7-13
UHF, real channels 14-51
You need an antenna for VHF-High and UHF. I doubt that you need real channel 6 WLFM, because it is FM audio only, not TV.

That's good, but signal loss for an attic location is difficult to predict. Aluminum thermal barrier, aluminum siding, and stucco will block signals, as will trees and other buildings.
Your channels are very strong, so you don't need a large high-gain antenna or a preamp.
I suggest the RCA ANT751 or the Winegard HD7694P antenna, aimed at 114 degrees magnetic. You might need to try different locations in the attic for best reception. Don't drill any holes until you get what you want with a test setup. If your TV has a signal strength indicator, that would help.
If WVPX ION is missing, you might need to aim the antenna between 114 and 152, but a little more toward 152 degrees.

I'd love to be able to pull in CBC (CBET) in addition to the standard US channels, but I don't know if that will be possible since it's pretty far away.

CBET, real channel 9, is a very weak poor quality signal. It is in a different direction and has terrain interference for the signal indicated by 2Edge. You would need a separate high gain antenna and a preamp, but the preamp would be overloaded by your strong local signals.
You have some very strong FM signals that
might interfere with TV reception. You should inert an FM filter in the coax line. See attachment.
