tomfoolery explains the job of the antenna very well, "...the antenna doesn't 'reach out' - it merely collects up whatever reaches IT."
Amplifiers do not 'pull' signal from the air, the antenna or the coax connected to the amp input. Amplifiers are for overcoming loss in cable and splitters... They can not and will not improve the performance of an antenna. If you have long cable runs and are feeding many TVs, then an amplifier may be helpful. If not, I don't think an amplifier would be money well spent.
I'd use a large antenna, in part to avoid the need for any amplifier. Just as I would dig my well deep enough to reach an ample supply of clean water, because I don't want to pump mud to my tap.
The HD850 is the smallest all channel antenna I would consider, but the HD7084P and HD1850 are not overkill if you are feeding more than one tuner.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
