Well I guess I'll toss my two cents in on this...

I'm a fan of versatility and flexibility. Separate UHF and H-VHF antennas allow you to optimize aim in ways that are impossible with a multi-band antenna such as the HBU-XX and HD769XP types.

I favour an antenna with extra gain... The smallest antenna possible, backed up by an amplifier is often the cause of intermittent reception reliability problems.

Still, when all the desired signals are coming from one location, the need for aiming flexibility is not there so an HBU or similar competing vendor version of that antenna will be a neat and tidy solution.
