Times is one of several high quality cable manufacturers, the others 
being Belden, and Commscope. Building high quality coax requires 
experience, skill, and serious quality control. Davis RF sells a very 
nice coax called Bury Flex that they have made to their spec, and it's 
highly regards.  I'd think pretty hard about straying beyond those products.

For more on this, study k9yc.com/Coax-Stubs.pdf

Finally, for only 88 ft at 50 MHz, you don't need to go nuts. At 50 MHz, 
it's all copper loss, so you want a big center conductor and a beefy 
copper braid. Look for good quality stuff from a quality vendor, and buy 
a coax these properties. See the table in the link above.
