Just to add my $0.02: With digital signals, I find little difference using rabbit ears with or without my preamp; stations that are unwatchable without it are just less unwatchable with it. If that's what you're looking to do, you might be disappointed.
On the other hand, the amp/ears combo works well when used to receive the output from an agile modulator/dipole I have set up in another part of the house. The picture went from snowy (but still comfortably watchable) to almost perfect.
I'm using an older version of the Rat Shack #15-259. Current price is up to $50, which is on the high side of what I'd consider inexensive for this sort of thing, but I think it's still a fair value.
Like I said, though, that's just my experience and your mileage may vary.
Good luck!
