Given your need for high gain, antennas such as the Winegard HD7698P and Antennacraft HBU-55 come to mind. Both have a relatively narrow forward beam-width which makes aim more critical than with smaller antennas. To achieve the gain, theses designs are the larger versions of a family of antennas that cover the H-VHF band and UHF band.
Both manufacturers have earned reputations for excellent design, build quality and durability. If Antennas Direct and Channel Master offered combination antennas that covered these two bands with similar gain, I would expect to be able to recommend those brands as well.
For windy areas, I'd suggest putting emphasis on the mast and it's base. Are you considering a tripod, chimney mount, eve/wall bracket or ground based mast?
Please, if any other members can offer more options, please weigh in.
