Mounting high, in the clear gives you the best chance of success regardless of which antenna you choose.
I won't bad mouth the Denny's HD Stacker nor will I endorse it. It's an unconventional design (that could be good or bad, I've found no independent testing to judge either way). It seems expensive to me ($129 + S&H). More importantly, The Denny web site makes a fairly obscure note that the antenna is designed to receive high VHF channels (7 - 13). Lacking support for Low VHF (2 - 6) explains why it is physically narrower. (The lower the real channel number, the longer the active antenna elements need to be.) You will likely have problems receiving KOBI (NBC CH5) with the HD Stacker. I'm not too concerned about K04EO (CH 4), it's a translator for KTVL (CBS CH 10).
I still recommend the HD7015. If you do not receive CH 10 reliably, you can do as T.G. suggests, adding a Y5713 with a CH 10 Jointenna.
