So i could probably just get by with a UHF antenna. I think the other VHF channel are things i would not watch anyway.
The ANT-751 is a very good option if you have no desire to receive the weaker signals from Tiger Mnt. KUSE may or may not be of interest to you.

The DB4e has quite a bit more UHF gain and a wide forward beam. That makes it a good choice for someone trying to 'get as many stations as possible'.

As mentioned earlier, the VHF antenna would be needed by those interested in receiving PBS or CW (real CH-9 & 11).

for a simple one antenna install the ANT-751 is fine.
