Default heliax vs lmr

i've read the specs on some healiax and lmr 400 but i can't say that i
always can interpert it fully and confused myself basically
interperting a real world practical answer

if for ex i am going to do some 1296 work and debate what coax is best

i compare lmr400 to 1/2i heliax is the heliax much better ? by how much


how about lmr 600 vs 1/2in/ and maybe 7/8" heliax is the lmr nearly
as good or is the heliax vastly superior?

comming here for a tie breaker everyone i asked either gives different
answers and non can explain their choice


i am not looking for a well lmr is pretty close and cheeper so buy it,
price is not the issue i just want to know based on technical spec's

if they are only 1db apart it's splitting hairs i'd get the cheepest
easist to work w/ after that i just want least loss

thanks
