We have 12 monopoles from 150' to 195'. We are using this: http://www.primuscable.com/store/p/9117-CAT-6-Ethernet-Cable-Shielded-Aerial-w/-Messenger-Wire-Solid-23-AWG.aspx
We've also learned that stringing the cables to a rope, and strapping them every 20' or so and then hanging the rope at the top to relieve strain increase the life expectancy. The 90' you are talking about might not be too bad for dangling, but at 195' we've learned that over time, it causes problems. Also, the messenger wire used as a ground on this cable is great for BH's. Especially the Mimosa B5's which really like a ground run to the bottom. If you need extra cables, you just hang a new rope. We've also contrived a pulley system for taking the rig to the top. While we've not deployed it yet, we are planning to this coming spring once tower weather returns.
