Rhombics are way the best for range, and ROI. TV twin-ribbon doubles their gain for the same size.See the FAQ article here - you might need an in-line signal attenuator for the local stations. You can play with how wide or narrow the acceptance angle is on a simple rhombic, so unless the subtended angle to Buffalo from the CNN tower is more than say 20 degrees, a spread rhombic is probably not needed.
Depends on how GOOD Buffalo's stations are really, whether you should bother with a rhombic.
A Yagi in the loft will last a lot longer than outside. And, weather's not an issue when installing in Winter.
Enjoy!
