Many thanks for all the comments about wet "450 ohm" ladder line.

There is no doubt in my mind about open wire line being the better choice, 
and I would normally use it. But in this particular application there is the 
risk of open wire line being damaged by or ensnarled in a fairly dense 
growth of small trees while hoisting the antenna. The feeder run is about 
300ft between the antenna and my remote antenna select switch box.

Further thought required.
