The advantage of using a tuner with an attic-based antenna is, build install and forget. No need to up/down in attic to "tune" the antenna for the desired bandwidth section.
Then if attic configuration is large enough in length and cross section distance, a loop/half square /bent dipole type configuration could be used.
The EDZ antenna (.64 wavelength) adds a little gain in some directions.
The use of a tuner/ladder line configuration does add some options not available when using coax as the feedline, as the feedline loss for a non-resonant antenna (EDZ/random size loop/random length on the legs) is not really an issue.
