I have had BuryFlex in use for 5-yrs and it works great.  It is real tough
cable, but very flexible.  Quite a bit of mine is direct buried.  I dug some
up not long ago just to take a look and once I rubbed the dirt off it looked
practically brand new.  It would be my choice for just about any outdoor
application unless I had a desire to use some sort of lower loss hard line.

Take a look also at BuryFlex (9914F )by Davis RF. I'm putting a run of 
it up based on the claims about the jacket.
