I have seen many glowing reports about Davis Bury-Flex for this purpose on
this reflector. No first-hand experience with it though.

So, what do you think is best? RG-213???
I think getting 5 years out of low loss coax is acceptable. I can help force
at least that interval of mainten ance on one's amtennas.

solid Aluminum center conductor. OTOH LMR-400UF is very flexible but does
not normally stand up well to out door use. The jacket is a rubber like
material that is easily abraded, catches on most any thing and has a short
advertised life of 10 years. Best I've gotten out of using it in normal
situations has been around 6 years. It works very well, but not for long.
