The HBU series antennas can be used in attics if there's enough room. You'll want to measure beforehand. Having said all that, I wouldn't expect to get satisfactory results with any attic installation given a signal report such as yours. I'd fly my antennas in the clear air above my roof.
The DB8E is a very capable and versatile UHF only antenna. It's compact and may be easier to fit in an attic (if you want to try)... But you'll not likely see WJLA or WUSA (real channels 7 & 9) unless you also install an antenna with H-VHF (real channels 7 through 13) capability. The Antennacraft Y10713 would be the antenna I would pair with the DB8E in this case. The Y10713 is ten feet long so the combination of the two antennas will consume a lot of attic space.
I'd opt for the 'premium' system... A DB8E + Y10713 + TVPRAMP1R, it gives you greater flexibility as you fine tune aim point. The two can be located on the same mast if it's a 10' mast or chain-link fencing top-rail. I'd put the UHF antenna at the top and the H-VHF at roughly the mid point. (Outdoors in the clear)
