elmo's assessment is spot-on re. the UHF only antennas.
I would tend toward a very similar antenna, the HD7694P due to it's wider forward beam. I fear the 7698 would be too directional. You situation calls for a bit of compromise between high gain (to chase down the weaker signals) and wide forward beam-width (to receive from angles to either side of aim point).
The HD7694P will receive medium and strong signals from the rear, so I would suggest a starting aim point of about 310° compass. You can try this with no amplification, but I expect you'll benefit from a good preamp such as the CPA-19 or HDP-269.
