Default Ladder line Vs. Coax

There's your answer. And here's the readers digest version of it.

As a rule of thumb, if you are going to use an antenna cut for a
specific band, cut it for that, and use coax, and a balun.

If you want to have multiple bands from one antenna without traps or
tricks, use ladder line and a tuner.

The ladder line can handle the wildly varying VSWR, and the tuner will,
well, allow the Xciever to see an impedence it likes.
