The answer for the feedline is always get as high quality, low
loss as you can afford. Given those two diameters it sounds
like you might have LDF4-50 and LDF5-50. The 5-50 is always
going to be lower loss, so I'd use that at 440 and 4-50 at 220.
There was just talk of hustler antennas. See the archives for
those comments. Our club used one for a "temporary" 2M
antenna (which lasted at least 6 years) and did well. Others
have had less good luck however.
