Signal Strenght Report - Antenna Advice Needed

Hello – I’m very new to OTA concepts. I’ve cut the cable and purchased a ‘smart tv’. Now I need an antennae and advice!
Here is the link to my signal report:

The gutters on my single-story home are 12’ above the ground. I used 15’ to generate the report. I’m considering putting an antennae in the attic or on the roof, if necessary. I’ll stick to simple rabbit ears if that will work in my situation, but I’ve looked at two other options. Other suggestions are welcomed.

1) EZ HD TV Antenna

2) HD Stacker Antenna

From the signal map, it looks like the easier to receive channels are within about 20 miles, and the weaker signals are around 100 miles away, in basically the opposite direction.
So, should I forget all about the weaker signals and just get a more basic antenna capable of receiving the stronger, closer signals?

What’s the consensus on the antenna’s that I listed above and how does that fit into my scenario?

Thanks for any advice.
