multistrand copper coated steel is longer lasting.
Not in my experience -- my neighbor hung a dipole strung with copperweld (what you're describing, I think) in some trees with tension on it and with pulleys and weights to deal with tree sway. It was on the ground a day or two later -- the stuff was quite brittle, and simply broke.
I really hate copperweld, and would never consider using it.
Just remember this when you start trouble shooting strange swr in a couple of years. Copper breaks so easy.Go to the Wireman.com for some good wire.
The wireman is a decent vendor, but I buy my antenna wire from big box stores.
