This is exactly what I use. I purchased a 50' roll of RG400 for $100 on
eBay and use it for HP jumpers and chokes. I think that it is better than
RG142 for the reasons Jim mentioned. Amphenol connectors are easy to
install on it.

Or RG400 -- pretty similar, but center is silver coated copper stranded, 
two silver coated copper braid shields.  RG142 center is silver coated
copper coated steel solid, same shield. RG400 is a bit more flexible and
will have a bit less loss on the lower bands.

Harbor Industries is a good brand, from W1/VE2 land. I needed some for a
project and found several good vendors on EBay.
