We've been using Commscope 5NF4 for years now without a single issue.
We've also used Belden 7919 and Shireen for shielded applications.
We have used Shireen messenger cable for outdoor aerial installs.
The messenger cable is a PITA to strip/terminate, but it seems to be
quality cable.

Been using APEX 9 cable for 3 years with no problems until the last
year. Earlier this year I unrolled some off a spool and the outer
jacket was missing in a spot, CTI sent me a new box and wanted the old
one back, today found another box with a HUGE section of outerjacket
missing, obvious manufacturing defect because the footage marking was
printed on the foil shield! Opened another box from the same pallet
and immediately found another defect on that roll that wasn't even off
the spool yet.
I need to find another brand of cable, I CAN NOT be having these poor
quality control issues showing up on towers which is where this cable
was being installed today....
