I wouldn't have thought the second one would be much use ... that's a very small aerial. The first one, well, just possibly but it's hard to say. Bear in mind that the Wolfbane predictor will tell you to use an indoor set-top aerial if it thinks that's appropriate, but it didn't do that in your case. It advised a log periodic, which I guess is probably about one step up.

Funnily enough I saw a log periodic antenna attached to a touring caravan parked up at the site nearest our house this morning ... it didn't look too obtrusive, although admittedly it was on the outside of the caravan rather than inside it.

I think if you're determined to use an indoor aerial you should probably try to borrow one or two different ones from friends or family and try them out. That's the only way you're going to be sure what sort of reception you'll get.
