I always try to use Belden...never had a bad experience with it...LMR is ok but I use it in simplex operations...doubt you'll ever need to use it on rptr but in duplex operation, LMR is bad...foil and braid shield cause noise issues...double copper braid like RG214 OR RG9 , or the smaller RG55 , 400 is best..but for home use LMR is ok...always get the largest your budget can afford with correct connectors. RG 58 is fine for short runs at VHF and even long runs on HF but it has power limits... good for 100watts or so...above that, go with 1/2in size cable like RG8 or LMR400.
