If you're using any sort of tuner at the base of the vertical, the 
feedline is much less important.  It's 50 ohms at the output of the rig, 
50 ohms at the input to the tuner, and the SWR on the feedline is 1:1.

It only gets goofy when the feedline is an unfortunate length, the 
antenna isn't near 50 ohms, and the tuner is on the other end of the coax.
