On my mobile, I use LMR-240. It's the best I've ever ran.
Just my opinion.
 
For mobile, use RG-400 ( don’t get confused with the LMR-400, not the same ) . It is MIL- Spec ideal for mobile. It is expensive, but worth any penny.
 
Just use RG58. The lengths of the cable runs are so short in a mobile installation it doesn't matter a shit, you'll not be able to tell the difference. Hell I've even used RG174 to get from a lip mount to inside the vehicle.

As long as he don’t use more than 500w, Rg-58 will be ok.

Solid dielectric like RG-58 and RG-400 is the standard for this type of application.

Try to avoid foam dielectric if you plan to run the coax between any door. It won’t last as much as the solid dielectric.

Does anyone know if this "Eifagur" RG400 sold by Amazon is any good? I priced RG400 on DX Engineering and it is QUITE pricy!

Personally, for HF/ 30MHz and below unless you're running 5KW and running 200+ feet to antenna ... above is good never notice any difference paying the price for LMR400 or similar (9913 is fine)

Yep, that's true. I was only interested in some to make a couple nice jumpers out of but, don't even really need that.
