Best Outdoor Antenna for DC Richmond exurb?

I am looking for an outdoor antenna. Shape doesn't matter too much because there is no HOA.

I can place it at the roof eave which is about 20 feet off the ground. I could place it at the top of the chimney which is 22 feet off the ground.

DC is 57 air miles from me and slightly to the Northeast.

Richmond, VA is 45 air miles from me and pretty much due South.

Charlottesville is 51 air miles from me and Southwest of me.

Baltimore is 92 air miles from me and like DC slightly to the Northeast.

I hung a 5 dollar cheapie antenna out of my 2nd story window which is on the east side of the house and got around 20 stations.

I was a bit surprised.

Side note: there are Trees surrounding my house...especially on the east side.

I was wondering what your antenna suggestion would be.

Here is the TVFool report link:

Was thinking of one of these since they are on sale and I did rather well with next to nothing IMO:

or

or even:

(This guy with the top review lives in my area....Spotsylvania and raved about the antenna in his review). The thing is my roof rake is rather sharp and I can't count on anyone in my area to help me mount this thing.

Thanks for the help!!
