You don't need a preamp and a distribution amplifier.

You can expect the signal quality to improve as the antenna is raised clear of the ground and nearby obstructions. This means you'll have a better signal to work with, and a signal that will be able to travel through more cable.

If you are already seeing good performance, expect a more reliable signal after you give the antenna a proper home.

The CM-3410 is going to be plenty of amplifier. It's designed to be mounted in a dry protected location, but feel free to mount it as close to the antenna as is convenient. Just after the coax enters the building for example.
