If there was a "best" cable, there would be only one type. Some have
lower loss, some are more flexible, some have better weather resistance,
some have better shielding, some have a longer lifetime, some tolerate
temperature extremes better, some are more uniform, some are less
expensive, and so forth.

So deciding which cable is "better" requires a lot more information
about what your requirements are.

Well said, Roy. I just purchased 2000 feet of "RG-6" coax. My main
goal was that I needed hundreds of feet of flooded coax with (good
shielding) that I could afford. The Commscope CATV aluminum foil/
braided coax that was available on eBay fit my needs perfectly.

I'm feeding my remote Beverages with it, as well as running medium
power to an inverted L on 160. Works great.

I'm convinced that no other coax at any price would have worked any
better.
