RG-58 and RG-8X at VHF are the most expensive of coaxes. They are big
attenuators. Likely LMR-200 is also expensive because of loss not much
better than RG-8X. RG-8 and RG-213 work half way decently, 9913 is a bit
better but prone to gathering water if not sealed perfectly at the
connectors. LMR-400 seems to be good.
