Use the suggested aim points as a starting position, then adjust for best overall results. You're not in an extreme deep fringe situation... So I have I have confidence that the HBU-44 can get the job done for you.
I'd like to repeat the general caution that, locations that force you to aim through trees and structures are usually poor choices as antenna sites. Mounting the antenna in a location that has a clear view toward the signal source can be extremely important when trying to establish reliable reception. Be sure to test reception at a proposed location, before drilling any holes or cutting cable, etc.
The ideal location for a preamp is near the antenna. A 3' to 6' cable from the antenna to the preamp is usually all that's needed if the preamp is located ideally. Amplifiers can not restore signal quality lost in cable attenuation on the input side of the amp. Preamplifiers and distribution amplifiers are only able to help with losses in cable and splitters connected to the amp's output. The less loss ahead of an amp, the better.
