The U8000 is a panel design, similar in shape to the CM-4228, DB8 and DB8E. The MXU antennas are relatively long in comparison. The MXU59 and U8000 have similar UHF gain and are designs that date back to the days when the UHF band spanned real channels 14 through 69. The DB8E is unique in that it is a newer design that concentrates it's performance to cover just real channels 14 through 51. As a result, it offers slightly better UHF performance than the older designs.
The Y10713 is a rather long antenna also. (I own one.) If you were mounting this on a mast, I would recommend placing the UHF antenna at least 3' above the Y10713. If you're in the attic, you'll likely not have the height to do so. If that's the case, mount them side by side (or at least so that one is not in front of the other) with at least 3' of separation... More is likely to be better.

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.)
