I'm using the Antennacraft 10G221 mast mounted preamp. It is marketed specifically for situations where there is a mix of strong local and weak distant signals. I would expect this means a larger input dynamic range, traded off against lower amplifier gain. It works fine for me, but I have not compared it to other preamps.
In theory, you could just amplify the band-limited UHF signal, and combine it with the strong VHF downstream of the amp. However, your UVSJ (combiner) would have to pass phantom power to the UHF preamp, and I don't know whether they do that or not. Seems unlikely.
