Default Two aerials or one with distribution amp, that is the question

I would like to connect two TVs to Freeview boxes. Apparently I have strong
signal even in the loft and so there are two options offered to me for
consideration

a] A single aerial with an amplifier/splitter.
b] Two independent wideband aerials

In the first case the amplifier/splitter would require 12V feed from the PS
in one of the rooms but this arrangement is "guaranteed" to have an optimum
signal conditions. In the second case, signal should still be good but,
with no amplification I get what I get. The big advantage of the second
set-up is, as I see it, that there are no active components to go wrong and
no extra clutter in the sitting room (and the loft).

Opinions?
Thanks
Roman
