Go with Heliax. I use 1/2 inch on my 6 meter and triband
antennas.
If installed right and the ends are protected it should out last
your antenna system.
Use any good flex co-ax for fly leads. I use 213 at both ends.
It works fine, as shown by my two world records (one has now
fallen)
in the QRP category of the RAC contests. (http://www.rac.ca)
You can see my antenna system by following my home page link
in my sig. file.

Gud luck and best DX
