If you want to use the coax to tie cargo down then go for the thinnest most flexible stuff you can find. if you want it for RF then use whatever YOU consider a decent trade-off between loss and cost. The VERY best lowest loss cable is not needed for HF and 11m. I like to see no more than about 1 dB or so loss. If I need a long run then I buy better cable. I actually use Andrew LDF4-50 heliax and the proper fittings BUT ONLY because it was free from when we decommissioned a couple towers. I would never buy it new.
