How much is "a good amount?"  If you're buying much, you might consider 
buying a full spool of Belden from a broadcast vendor. They make some 
very good RG11 cables. Unfortunately, Belden cable is burdened by a 
policy of selling only through distributors, most of which have pretty 
high markups.  Belden 8213 is awfully good. Foam, very low loss. I'm 
using it to feed high 80/40 dipoles, and they work well to 6M.  
Commscope is another excellent mfr.  Just look for a cable with a beefy 
copper in both braid and center conductor.
