I'm using #18 solid Copperweld wire from Davis RF for my 160m Inverted-L antenna.  It tarnished quickly to a dark brown and is virtually invisible.  I'm not even sure I could spot it up in the air if it didn't have some dacron line holding it up to tell me where it is.  The DC resistance is negligible ... something like 0.05 ohms per meter, I think.

It's amazingly strong, too.
