Is there anyone has compare the performance of DB4, Gray-Hoverman antenna, and Fractal TV Antenna (I like the concept, since it is very small). Any suggestion on which plan is a better design.
in general if the antenna is use in the attic, what kind of % drop in signal strength might be.
thanks.

The different antenna designs and configurations give different results. Here is an introduction to DIY antennas:

Best Do-It-Yourself OTA Antennas - see these links

For comparing performance between common store-bought antennas here's a link to some graphs and charts from a well respected researcher:

Since you live in Richmond Hill, Ontario, the most important thing is to read through the Reception Results thread to look up what antenna and OTA gear others nearby you have already used successfully for their best results:
