Though it's not an enormous difference, the noise figure of the Antennas Direct CPA-19 is lower (better) than the Winegard.

The difference between the two antennas is so small, I would let price determine.

RG-6 from a big box home center is fine. No need to spend extra money on quad-shielding though.

The best place is outside... but in the attic, avoid aiming at metal (roofing, flashing, pipe, duct work, foil, etc.) and to the degree possible, aim through the least material possible. But, keep an open mind... be willing to experiment with locations if there are options.
