There are comparative  advantages to most commonly used materials but 
unless there are facts not in evidence auguring to the contrary, 
Phillystran is a good choice and of course for most practical 
applications is essentially transparent RF wise.  It is very strong for 
its weight. Terminating it can be challenging in some configurations.
