I would not be too keen on the Winegard, simply because it is a dated design. There is no need to cover actual channels 52-69, since the FCC has removed those from the broadcast TV spectrum.

I would also take a look at specifically which channels I wanted to receive, and group them by their angle on the horizon, signal strength and whether they are VHF low, VHF high or UHF. The objective is to group as many desirable channels as close together as you can, within the same bandwidth. Looks to me like most of the channels around 309 are UHF - if that's what you want, buy a DB4e or DB8e, point it at 309 and see what you get.

Hang on and one of the industry pros will respond. I think maybe your post suffers a bit from information overload - you provide a lot of detail and ask a lot of questions that may best wait until after you determine which antenna might work for you.
