There's a technical piece in one of the later ARRL Antenna 
Anthologies showing that ladder line can get quite lossy when the 
insulation gets wet, even at frequencies as low as 160 meters. So I 
would go for "ladder line" that has the smallest practical 
insulation material (that is, the largest practical "windows").
