[RFI] Recommended Coax for Shack Jumpers?

Im trying to cut down on the RFI mess in my shack and am replacing RF 
jumper cables.

Some jumpers are RG-213, some RG-142 (the double shielded teflon 
stuff).  I have enough lengths of each stashed away that I can go 
either way when I actually get around to putting connectors on.

While there is a difference in flexibility and putting on the 
connectors (which I hate to do), is there an appreciable difference in 
one vs. the other for lengths <10 feet?

Thanks in advance,
