help choosing the right antenna

Thanks for your help. I have read and searched as much as I can but I would appreciate if you could double check my results. Any help you give would be greatly appreciated.

The channels I want are (real) 10 (nm 3.1), 19 (nm 7.7), 28 (nm 3.0), 44 (nm5.5). Straight north of me. I am looking for the best antenna to pick up these channels......

channel master 4228HD

very good on UHF....

net gain channel 19 is 13.3 dbi
net gain channel 28 is 14.5 dbi
net gain channel 44 is 14.1 dbi

and supposed to be ok on some high vhf
net gain channel 10 is 4 dbi

or the winegard hd7698p
net gain channel 19 is 9.5 dbi
net gain channel 28 is 11.5 dbi
net gain channel 44 is 12.8 dbi
net gain channel 10 is 11 dbi

hmm.... after typing the above, channel 10 and 28 are the weakest, it looks like the hd7698p might be the best for me. Let me know what you think or if you know of any better ones, im happy to hear about those.

I will be feeding 4 TV's. do you think I will need a pre-amp? If so a strong one like cm7777 or a weaker one?

Also channel 26 is fairly close to me, will this mess me up with a pre-amp or are either of these antennas directional enough that it wont?

Thanks again, I appreciate all your expert advice!
