Which to go after KUID or K23HT-D?

Hello Everyone,

I'm moving soon to start graduate school in Cheney, WA. I adore the Idaho PBS and want to receive it OTA. I have two choices, KUID out of Moscow, ID which is full power and about 17db on the signal strength, but is coming at me through 2 edges. I also have K23HT-D, a translator for Idaho's PBS in Saint Maries, ID. I have line of sight to K23HT-D, but it's extremely low power.

Here's my signal map for my location:

I know VHF punches out better long distances to due its longer wavelength, hitting 2 edges though is hard on the signal. Meanwhile a flea powered UHF translator that I'm well outside of the contour might be iffy.

The antenna setup is going on the roof with two dedicated antennas, one to receiving the Idaho PBS and the other, an RCA ANT751 pointed to Tower Mountain in Spokane.

Which Idaho PBS signal is the one with a better likelihood of steady reception?

Thanks.
