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.
