Thanks to all for the input!

Here is where I am heading based on input and additional research.

Main antenna- CM4228HD
I researched the DB8e, DB8 and the HDB8X.
1) I choose the CM4228HD because it seems that this antenna higher gain than the others up to about channel 35-37 UHF by a good margin. (3-5db). Most of my UHF channels are within this 14 and 40 range.

2) It also picks up some of the VHF (high) channels better than the others so I’m hoping it will be good enough to not have to use a separate VHF antenna. I have some high vhf channels to get. If I don’t have success with the CM4228HD in picking up these VHF channels, I will pick up this- http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/30-2476

I intend on trying in my attic first to see what happens! (asphalt shingle roof)

Does this sound reasonable?
