Separate antennas for UHF and VHF give you added flexibility when optimizing aim. In this case, I don't see a glaring need for such flexibility but it would not hurt your chances of reception.

If you opt to use separate antennas, you have several UHF/VHF combiner options to choose from...

In a an environment with weaker signals, one could consider using a preamp with separate inputs. I'd resist this option when faced with the number of strong signals shown in your report. An overloaded amplifier will reduce the number of reliably received channels.
