Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

You'd need to know aht the frequency bandwidth of a composite video signal is

and does the target switcher's spec'n give you this information, yes out to 500Mhz?

Given that the runs are not long from tuners to switcher (yes?), and to the amplifier / pre-amp (yes?) you could probably get away with a thinnish gauge of 75ohm coax that will fit into RCA plugs for the switcher in and out.

This does all depend on how good* the FM antenna* you'll be using actually is. If it has plenty of gain* and rejects multi-path well, then feed-line and switch-contact losses become less important. That is, you may not need an RF amplifier before the switcher units. ? * IMO there is little point in comparing tuners unless all of them are being driven into full limiting*.
