There really is no "best" antenna. Most of them will do about the same job.
Things to know:
Distance - ALL TV broadcasting is in the frequency range that dictates LINE OF SIGHT signal travel and reception. 100 miles is an unrealistic expectation. The higher the tower, the longer the range. The higher you mount your antenna, the longer reception range you get. Regardless, it is still line of sight. Accounting for the differences in altitude, tower height, and obstacles (like hills) height above the curvature of the Earth will determine your distance for reception. A "better" antenna will NOT get you more distance. Height will get you more distance.
Amplification will help a weak signal. But, there is only so much help you can get from amplification. If the signal has a lot of noise in it, an amplifier will amplify the noise as well as the signal.
Size. A larger antenna will usually gather more signal,but the best size is a full-wave or half wave. This has to do with resonance. The antenna that is tuned most closely to the frequency you are trying to receive will generally work the best.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
