I am afraid there is no definitive answer except to say that four way splitter will nearly always result in a poor signal.

A mast-head amp is always the place to start however, because you are amplifying a better signal to noise ratio there. So I'd do that first but you may still find that you nee distribution amp as well. (I have both.)
