Depending on feedline length, you might want bigger coax on 80 and 40. 
My high dipoles for those bands are fed by about 160 ft of Davis RG11.

YES! The differences are loss, build quality, and shielding. Look for a 
foam dielectric, UV-resistant outer jacket, and a beefy copper braid.

My advice is based on knowing that Carol is a serious contester, and we 
fight for every dB and even a half dB.
