Another antenna suggestions ?

Good morning!
Like so many others I want to "cut the cable". That led me to this site and to antennaweb.org to try to determine which type antenna I need. Tvfool indicates that a set top antenna is adequate while antennaweb suggests a large directional with pre-amp is required. I have read that antennaweb is very conservative, but I am confused by the huge discrepancy.

My site is in the "shadow" of a ridge that is between me and the primary group of transmitters that are 13.6 to 13.8 miles from me. I estimate that I am about 50 feet below having line of sight to these transmitters. I do not need to get anything from further away.

Here is the tvfool link for my location. So, which type antenna do I need and please suggest preferred manufacturers and models.

TIA!
