Coaxial Cable considerations for HF

Having re-entered ham radio after a 30 year hiatus, I would like to ask
about RG/8U versus other cable types for use in a simple dipole or G5RV
installation with 100W max. transmitter output. In the "good old days"
Low loss "8U" was sort of the standard. There are some newer cable
designations now.

Is there a better "standard" cable for the above use than RG/8U
(specifically Belden 9913 low loss)?
