One small point, flooded cable does not resist varmints. It has a
material that will ooze out of nicks and cuts to reseal the plastic
outer PVC before there is water ingress.
I agree with Jim that for the price, RG6 is the way to go. Use the
new compression connectors and a F-UHF adapter and you are good to
go. I do not recommend trying to get UHF connectors on to RG6. I have
done it and it is a PITA.
