Ryan, LMR400 give you low loss and relatively high temperature stability. That's what I use. If you can get it at a decent price, use it.
The foam core isolation is sensitive to being squeezed. Also be careful not to make tight bends, but rather let it have large bending radius.

All, I’m going to be installing a “permanent” antenna at home, and will need a run of about 100ft to get from my workstation, to the mast I’ll be mounting the antenna on (Symmetricom 58532A). I’ve seen some indication that both the antenna and the Trimble Thunderbolt won’t have any issues with running over 75ohm cable, but thought I’d ask the “experts” whether I’d be better off with some RG6 Quad-shield, or LMR400 (I’ve got a local source that doesn’t know what LMR400 is, or what it’s worth)? Obviously I’d prefer to run and crimp RG6, but if I’d be better off with LMR400, I’d rather run that now than go back into the crawlspace again. =) Also, if it helps, I’ll probably have a Symmetricom/HP 58516A at/near the T-bolt so I can experiment with other GPS(DO)s as well (especially one of the JRMiller boards I bought and built (but never finished) ages ago). Which brings the question, will the T-bolt provide the oomph needed to power that splitter and the antenna over that length of cable?
