Until you try mounting your antenna in your attic, you don't know for sure if your attic is a usable reception site or a 'black hole' of reception. The HBU-33 is relatively easy to re-fold, unlike the Winegard. The Antennacraft would be my choice if I was to try attic mounting, the Winegard could be damaged if you needed to remove it from an attic.

If I knew that I was going to mount outdoors (where you will find better reception), I'd choose the Winegard antenna.

I'd try using a passive 4-way splitter such as the Ideal # 85-134. Consider performing this test, http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=13646. If the need for amplification is proven, a Channel Master CM-3410 can be added easily... Between the antenna and splitter.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
