FM / AM radio and antenna

I apologise if this is in the wrong section. I am trying to sort out how best to get better radio signal strength / options in the house and workshop. I am in Victoria, BC. Canada. House is sheltered by a large rock ridge to the west so open skies to north, east, south only. I am considering a used stereo tuner such as the  Teac ag-790 am/FM stereo or a Tivoli am/fm radio model 1. Then I thought I would add an FM antenna on the roof / chimney stack and use RG6 U coax to the receiver. Ideally I would like to have one cable to the office and one to the workshop. I can sort out an AM coil easily enough.

Questions
Is a good quality stereo tuner a better option than a simple radio? I am looking at several used ones as folks seem to be getting rid of these big boxes for smaller digital or even internet radio, so the tuners are quite affordable.

What would a good FM antenna option be? The Digiwave ANT8001 or equivalent seems to crop up in many searches. 

What is the best way to split the signal to two receivers? They would not be used at the same time so I do not see the need for a switch.

Do I need to worry about lightning?

I would appreciate any help that can be offered. I don't need to spend a lot of money and I am not seeking audiophile sound quality, just strong signals 

Thanks
