Tom covered almost everything I would have. I would stick with the C5 just because it fits on a 40" J-mount much more readily, it's way easier to handle on a roof and it should be sufficient for your forecasted signal levels.
One suggestion I'd make depends on how many sets and how long your maximum run (antenna to furthest set) is. If the total insertion loss exceeds 10-12 dB, I'd simply go to a 30 db preamp like the current 7777 plus an appropriate splitter instead of a preamp plus a distribution amp. You don't have any strong TV or FM signals nearby that would raise any overload concerns.
Not mentioned yet is what your signal path looks like in the direction(s) of antenna aiming. If it's a fairly clear view, then your odds of success are pretty good. OTOH, if you're in a forest, it's going to be potluck.
