"Question: Will ATSC signals do OK on a roof antenna mounted in the attic, if I don't get diddly-squat in the house on rabbit ears? If so, any input on what kind of antenna?"
The problem with trying to answer this question is that the amount of additional gain needed is unknown... You may only 2-3 dB below the threshold for a perfect picture or 20dB below! Does your DTV box indicate signal strength for signals below the threshold?
In the past, I have found it helpful to take the box to a location closer to the towers and perform a "scan" so that the box can determine the available channels, then at the more remote location the signal strength of "known" channels can be measured as the antenna is moved around in the room. You might locate some "hot spots".
