I have used LDF4-50A & LMR400 for years. No more RG213 except for short
jumpers.
I bought a lot of this many years ago and it still tests good.
Just my results. Pay for the good stuff once!

I'm running burryflex (150 ft run) for 80-10 (no 160 here), with the last
30 ft of the 80 being "in the air" to the dipole
I _SERIOUSLY_ considered heliax, but NOT for signal. Look at expected life
span out in the elements. I was, and am, hoping it is a "once and done"
thing (darn rotor has failed, replacement is here - just need to have
someone climb - I can't)
I looked at the lifetime ratings of the small heliax/hardline, and said "You
know, that might be the way to go.."
