Is WGVK, real channel 5 a 'must-have' station? If so, the large all channel antennas you've listed are worth considering. All of the antennas you have listed will be directional. It's not reasonable to expect to find a single aim point that would provide reception of every station available to you. If reception of WGVK is not of concern to you, you can use a more compact antenna design and still have access to the rest of the stations in the green and yellow sections of your report. A few of the stations in the red section of your report may be receivable but you'll be facing weak signal levels and co-channel interference.
Will you be connecting more than one set? The question is asked because a rotator would allow you to get the most use from a single antenna but would be inconvenient for multiple set viewing. If there is a need to aim the antenna in more than one direction at the same time, who wins, who looses?
There are several ways to approach this situation, your goals, including the number of sets you'll connect along with which stations are important and which are not, will help determine what to suggest.
