I strongly recommend a decent 75 ohm transmitting coax (robust
copper braid shield, UV-rated jacket) with a good multi-turn common
mode choke wound around toroids. The obvious advantage is greatly
reduced receive noise thanks to the choke, and it's widely
available.
I was lucky enough to find 250 ft of Belden 75 ohm KW twinlead New
Old Stock at a hamfest about 25 years ago. I used it on a dipole
that I also used as a top-loaded vertical for 80 and 160. Nice
stuff, but LONG discontinued.
