I like insulated! No scientific reason! 

My reasons:

1. Normal house wiring ( as I use) is usually cheaper. For the goofing I do
no need in spending alot of buck to play with something you seen in a book.

2. The antennas get to be a little shorter, only by a few percent, but
sometimes that few percent is what it takes to make it fit! Besides thta
look at the wire you save for the next one...(there we go back to the cheap
thing)

Cheap and loving it,
Mike...NO6X
