Since it is Mil qualified, ALL RG-213 is the same.  Compared to similar-size 
foamed dielectric cables, it has more loss/length.
 
The best bang for the buck is DX Engineering DXE400MAX, a clone of Davis RF's 
Buryflex400 at a substantial savings.  500' = $365 including shipping in the 
lower 48 states.  That's 73 cents/foot.

Belden 8267 RG-213 is very tough.  I use it on all of my yagis.

So, what do you think is best? RG-213???
I think getting 5 years out of low loss coax is acceptable. I can help
force at
least that interval of mainten ance on one's amtennas.

Best 73's
