Over a 50' run, expect RG-59 to have 1 dB more loss than RG-6. http://www.rfcafe.com/references/ele...coax-chart.htm

The DB-4 can be installed with or without the reflector grids as I recall. If installed with out the reflector grids, the antenna will receive well from the front and the rear. You have two major groups of stations, east and west of you. The new DB-4e appears to be displacing the original DB-4 so if you want to beat a big price jump, get one quick.
