Roof mounting gives you access to the best quality signal. However, you have plenty of strong, easy to receive signals coming from a common direction, which makes attic mounting a very viable option.

An Antennacraft HBU-33 is worth considering. If you mount it in the attic but find reception unreliable, the HBU-33 can be folded back down, allowing it to be moved outside with little risk of damage.

If you know you are going to roof mount for sure (the best option) consider the Winegard HD7694P

In either case aim at about 195° per a compass, then adjust the aim point for peak signal from there.

If you go with outdoor mounting, either antenna will deliver plenty of signal power. An amplifier should not be needed even if you split to four sets, maybe more.

Sorry to see the wildfire damage on the news, you and your neighbors are cared for...
