antenna recommendations

I'm trying to decide which antenna I need, based on two sources of info.

My tv fool report is here:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...a362296333d0f3

and antennaweb.org says I need a violet strength antenna. From the tvfool report, I feel like a winegard hd7694 should be acceptable. But if I really do need violet level strength, then I guess I need the 7697. I'd like to avoid that if I can, since it costs twice as much though.

I know I need something with a decent amount of strength, because I've tried a few set top antennas and they can't ever get WFAA(8). Its the only vhf station I need to receive, but its also the station with the best programming, so I really want to receive it!

Any thoughts/suggestions on which antenna to go with?

Will I need a pre-amp if I only plan on servicing 1 tv with the antenna? I'll have to run 100-150' of cable to get from the attic to the TV.

Also, would this http://www.amazon.com/Antennas-Direc...d_bxgy_e_img_c mount be ok for either of those antennas, or do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!
