like to connect everything up as follows,

2x aerials into coupler then into the pre-amp, split out of the pre amp
into the two scanners,

I dont know how fussy the scanners and pre-amp are with relation to
impedance/ load so I would like to draw on everyones vast knowledge and
seek advise.

Thanks

That lot should work fine as long as you use proper diplexer for the two
antennas(why two antennas though? are they for different bands??)

and just a normal antenna splitter from the amp to the radios

use 50ohm cable, splitter and diplexer and you'll be sweet

I was thinking about using two different antennas as They are different styles and I guess they will have different "sweet spots" thanks for your info I think I might just swap between the two antennas until I decide which one is better.

Thanks
