Reception of the stations NE of you will require the larger HD7698P.
Consumer grade rotators will be tested by the load that antenna will put on them. Compare the Channel Master CM9521 versus the heavy duty Hy-Gain AR-40. If you are in windy country, the heavy duty rotator may be worth the substantial difference in price.
Regarding preamplifiers, I lean slightly in favor of the Antennas Direct CPA-19. It's a bit better regarding both noise and resistance to ESD damage (nearby lighting activity).
