I do agree with the advise to terminate unused splitter ports.
I own a CM-3418... and a CM-3410. (I have more than one antenna.) The same amplifier is used in both, the 3418 also has an 8-way splitter built in. I see no need for you to by an 8-way splitter, the one you have works.
The CPA-19 is more expensive, but theoretically better because it has a lower noise figure and easy to place close to the antenna, thus accessing the signal before loss in the down-lead. The CM3410 could be placed in the attic if there is power available, but the CPA-19 is designed to be powered remotely.
Bottom line, pick one of the options, there is going to be very little measurable difference in the final results.
