You're correct, the UVSJ can go in the attic. If practical, arrange the cabling to minimize the length of coax UHF signals need to travel. VHF signal are attenuated less than UHF so a few extra feet of coax from the VHF antenna to the UVSJ would be preferred over a long run from the UHF antenna to the UVSJ.

All antennas are going to perform best if they are mounted away from other objects. Metal is very problematic, wood is less so, but still affects the characteristics of the antenna.
