Any idea how wide of an angle the Winegard antenna will receive?

My advice was to stick with one direction, but if you want to experiment, try the Antennas Direct C2V, that has a UHF beamdth of 70 degrees, and is bidirectional for VHF. You can make it bi-directional for UHF also by removing the reflector. No guarantees.

Also wondering if there is a "good" omnidirectional antenna that anyone here recommends.

The term "omnidirectional" is a marketing department creation that gets your hopes up. That type of antenna contains a poor quality antenna combined with an internal amplifier that tries to make up for its poor performance. It will pick up signals from all directions, but it also picks up noise and interference from all directions. I'm not impressed, but you are welcome to try it.
