I'm using plain ol' rabbit-ears-plus-UHF-loop connected via the BNC connectifier. I'm guessing that the rabbit ears are superfluous in this application, and if any 'DTV antennae' really do make a difference it'll be because they're an improvement over the loop (note the important 'if'). One antenna has a fancier-looking, plastic-coated UHF loop, a multi-position knob of uncertain function, and a wall-wart. I've got the bare-bones antenna connected to one DTV converter and the fancy one connected to the other, and whether its the antennae or the boxes that make the difference (I haven't gotten around to switching them around yet), one box gets crappy reception on a few channels and the other gets crappy reception on different channels.
I wasn't sure whether I could get away with ganging both converters onto one antenna, so I gave each converter its own. So far, anyhow.
