I am looking for some assistance in selecting an antenna to use in my attic to help with OTA TV.

The signal loss for an attic antenna is difficult to predict but since your signals are very strong, your chances are good.

Most of the stations I want are to the SE

That looks like the best direction; aim at 159 degrees magnetic.

I do want all the main networks plus as many others as I can pull in.

With the antenna aimed at 159 you might also get PBS on real channel 11. If not, it gets complicated. The directions are too far apart to split the difference.

I would ideally like to run 2 TVs off my setup, so I realize that may require an amplifier of some kind too.

Try it with one TV first with a temporary setup to adjust the aim and location of the antenna in the attic, then add the second with a splitter. You probably will not need an amp; your strongest signals are close to being in the overload category.
The antennas to consider are the Winegard HD7694P and the RCA ANT751R, in order of preference.
You have some strong FM signals that might interfere with TV reception; add an FM filter in the coax. See attachment 1.

I see a lot of trees in your area; I hope there aren't any in the signal path. See attachment 2.
