Given the weak signal from WBNA, real channel 8, I would combine the two antennas using the UVSJ on the mast. Then, feed the CPA-19 with the combined output of the UVSJ. The CPA-19 would also mast mount. The VHF signals will benefit from the preamp in the same way the UHF signals do.
Try to mount the antennas at least than 3' from each other.
As a rule of thumb, the UHF would do best on top... but I doubt any but the best pro-grade test gear would show the difference in most cases.
Be sure to use coax seal on the exposed connectors.
Running down the exterior wall surface to the foundation is good. Ideally, the coax ground block would locate outside, adjacent to the penetration into the building.
