Default Window ladder line losses ton environment vs coax losses

In other words, will both of these type of lines have about the same
loss to natural environment objects or is one more sensible than the
other?

If no common-mode currents exist on the coax, it will
be impervious to environmental losses. Under ideal
conditions, 100% of the energy fields are confined
inside the coax. That is not true for ladder-line whose
fields around the wires should be kept some distance
from environmental objects.
