Kansas City is an all-UHF city. There is no need for anything other than a small 2-bay UHF bowtie for these stations. I've give my family members in your neighborhood DB2 antennas and they've worked fine, even receiving several of the Topeka UHF stations. Both of the antennas you suggested would likely receive KC locals even if pointed at Topeka, but neiither are an exact fit for KC-only reception.
Now, if you want more than just the Kansas City stations, you do have viable options to get reception from Topeka and St Joe in addition to KC. A long-range 7-51 antenna on a rotor with a high-input pre-amp should work fine for this expanded option.
