Since you live in Lafayette and have a full load of local channels (all located in that area)

Any decent roof top antenna will work fine, honestly even a multidirectional placed in your attic should be fine. (your so close to all the channel's broadcasting that you wont have an issue)

If you want a more traditional outside mounted antenna something like this will be tough to beat. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0024R4B5C/...sl_84hpy14h7_b

I live west of Sulphur and use a Winegard HD 7698P antenna to pick up Lafayette stations, KPLC, LPB, Fox 29. I am blocked to the west pretty bad but can get Beaumont 10 off the back side. This is a large and directional antenna.

Probably 60 miles or so from Sulphur to Lafayette so the directional Winegard is a darn good choice.

Well the nice thing about digital broadcasting is it's a case of either get it or not... there is no in-between like the snowy channels you used to get in analog.

So as long as your getting the channels you want... don't mess with a good thing.
