The 4221, db4, and db4e are all the same style of antenna, an array of bow-tie elements in front of a screen. This type of antenna is designed for UHF channel reception, with the db4e being the newest design optimized for channels 14 - 51. These all have some sensitivity to VHF frequencies. My hesitation with recommending one of these is how useful that performance will be in your case.
(Please have your TVFool report in front of you for the next part.)
Note that all of your Canadian stations - UHF and VHF - to the southwest are very strong. You do not need an antenna with positive gain to successfully receive them. The US stations are weaker and will need a few dBs of antenna gain for reliable reception. A set-and-forget antenna solution will end up pointing between those two directions, biased a little towards the US stations.
The deciding factor in my opinion is which antenna will get you WVNY without losing any others. I am not sure that the 4221 will do that. I am pretty sure the C5 will.
