I am looking to build a antenna that can catch signals from many directions with great beam width and high gain, also don't need VHF, just specifically for channels 14-51.

catch signals from many directions with great beam width and high gain

Those are pretty much mutually exclusive. High gain antennas generally have narrower beamwidths. Basically its like squeezing a half filled balloon, to get more distance from the center, the balloon becomes narrower.

I think a good compromise is a simple reflectorless DBGH, its bi-directional with very decent beamwidth and gain in both directions. If you need four main points, then build two with separate coax downleads into an A-B switch at the TV.

Not sure where in mississauga are you, but I am in w20 and I catch pretty much everithing (not ion) UHF from toronto to buffalo to hamilton with a jeds wide band GH6.
Therefore I assume jeds regular GH 6 should be better for 14-51.

I think the one he's referring to is in Area 51 or the modeling thread.

did you mean to ppost in another thread?

Whoops, heh. Yeah, but I didnt find astupidoldman's model in those two threads. I do recall it though. Maybe a quad thread ?
