We've got this "Enterprise" model from Radio Shack and it's worked quite well for us (note that we live fairly close to the local transmitters). It has a motor inside to remotely change the direction of the antenna element, a nice touch:

Something like that can be a good solution, with the potential problems I mentioned. It might not work well for all the channels.
Going through the items that SolidSignal has in stock, this seems to be a good balance of cost versus gain for a rooftop antenna. Not for inside use because it is b-i-g, almost 10 feet wide, 8 feet long, 2.2 feet high.

BIL just put up a new outdoor antenna complete with a new rotor that
has a remote control, no more getting up to turn the rotor control. He
said he's cable and satellite free now and picture is better than ever. I'm
not sure I could go that far, there's some cable channels that I really like.

Is there anything like a favorite ATSC TV antenna out there?

The RCA is very compact and unobtrusive and is not orientation-sensitive.
Outdoors:

*Unfortunately, the original 4228 has been replaced by the 4228HD:
