I think that WD1-A would be perfect for on-ground radials. (Note that WD1-A is 
not twisted although WD-1 is.)
It lays very flat on the ground, the critters don't like it, and it is 
immensely strong. I always use crimp terminals but YMMV. I don't think it 
matters either way whether you use one or both wires - for Beverages I always 
use both wires but connected separately. That way I can use a simple ohmeter 
test to confirm that the whole length is continuous.
