Myself I use an Ameco TPA as opposed to the MFJ-1020C(had) ... Just seems to
work better. The case is plastic so you may want to add some type of
weight inside to keep it in one spot when tuning. Some have added interior
shielding as well but seems to work fine for me the way it is.
The MFJ-959B is good as well as an older Grove tuner/amp that I have.
Myself and a few others have not had any luck with the MFJ-1024 outdoor amp.
The Palstar AA30 isn't even reviewed on Eham net.
The following should help you decide.

Just remember you will most likely be amplifying a certain amount of RFI
along with the chosen setting. That's why it so important to find that
sweet spot (area of the house or property less affected by RFI). A quick
walk-around with a portable tuned to the SW band will soon locate the area
of least man made noise. For me it's the centre of the kitchen, nice clear
reception. The rest of the house sounds like it's raining RFI. My outdoor
antennas are another story.
