Tefzel cable ties. But be prepared for sticker-shock if you've never bought
Tefzel ties before... :-)
I'll echo the comments of others - for "regular" black UV-rated ties,
Panduit, 3M, and T&B are good, but even around here (mid-Atlantic), it's
rare that they last more than 10 years. They do hold up significantly
better/longer if they get a coat of tower paint on them within the first few
years as it cuts down on the UV degradation.
Whatever cable ties Home Depot is selling (green and white label on the bag)
is about the worst there is. They used to sell T&B "Catamount" series of
cable ties, which is T&B's lower-tier, but they switched to the current junk
brand a few years ago. T&B "Ty-Wrap" series are the better ones with the
stainless steel locking tab/tine.
