Can't do an attic installation because my house has the shielded radiant barrier roof panels the have the foil on the underside.
So I am trying to find something that doesn't look bad to mount somewhere on the exterior. Here are the ones I was looking into.

Any advice / suggestions?

How far away from station are you?

Two of the Baton Rouge stations are in the high VHF band, around 200 MHz which is a wavelength of roughly five feet. Ideally the size of the antenna element will match the wavelength of the signal. Less desirable is an antenna that is some fraction, i.e., 1/2 or 1/4, of the signal wavelength. The point is that these compact antennas compromise signal strength for their small size. You can't repeal the laws of physics.

I'm in French settlement so maybe 30-40 miles from Baton Rouge?

By any chance do you have a gabled roof?
I have the radiant barrier too, but I have 3 gables, each with a small window. I put my antenna in that window.

No it isn't. I do have some dog houses with windows but they point to the south so I am not sure that would work very well.

I have a Clearstream 4v mounted on my house. Not sure what you consider ugly, but I don't think it looks any worse than a dish.
I honesty don't even notice it's there anymore.

jj283 is giving a good option. FS is going to be difficult reach- You really are going to need to get higher in the air.

I bought the 1st. I picked up 48 channels and that was in the attic with the techshield roofing everywhere.
