Radio Shack Antenna Amplifier Model:15-259 with 33 db average gain
Based on the predicted signal levels, that or JC's suggestion of the U8000 will be plenty of antenna.

I don't think you will need any amplifier though. (Save the money.) In fact I would expect the RS amp listed, to overload and cause trouble. I'd prove the need first, then I would be careful to use an amp with high input capability.
