if i not use  hard line (heliax type or other brand)  i will use the lmr cable  400 or 600   over any other brand in coax ,   the flex version for short runs from antenna to antenna switch to made a good loop  and never get   a broken aluminium copper clad center,  no pl 259 , a N connector  male  one side and other side female  no need for a barrel , if a need to join a  cable  i will try to put a lighting arrestor if  the place is good, ( tower bottom, shack entry )
why LMR  , they claim 15 years  cable life, i have some runs in the around 10yrs and look no problem .
9913, 213, RG8   in my experience  short life. 
my opinion.
