I'd lean towards the Antennas Direct 'Juice' or an RCA TV1PRAMP. Remember, preamplifier gain does not add to the gain of the antenna, it only deals with loss and noise sources on the output side of the amp.
The DB8e is an excellent choice based on the report you've posted, so focus on making the most of it by locating it in a spot that has the least obstructions and be willing to experiment with height as well.
Using the single best tuner you've got and a coax run that is just enough to connect the antenna to the tuner, verify your results with no amplifier first... Then, once you know you have a usable signal at the antenna, add the amplifier to push that hard won signal to each TV in the house.
