Hi Doug,
   Good question to ask before you spend the money. It would be helpfull to know what frequencies,what power, and length you will be using? Will you be buring the coax? The higher the frequency with the same coax then the higher the loss. So while one coax would work with say 80-6 meter it would not do well at 2 meter.

Good luck,
Dave N0EOP
