[MRCA] coax recommendation sought

[W2HX]

Hello all,

I need to run some coax from the shack out about 160 feet to a vertical. Here's the story. While having a new kitchen built this past fall and winter, I had the workers bury a flexible 2" conduit out to a new antenna site.  It is a flexible conduit and I needed that because it had to meander a little to avoid bedrock and other outcroppings in the backyard.

I am looking for some coax that is flexible so that it can be pulled through the conduit without too much trouble. I need legal limit HF and loss is not a huge issue for me considering its only 160 feet (total end-to-end) or so.  Also there will be a coupler at the base so I am not worried about loss in the coax caused by SWR.

One last point, I need to make sure I can affix either a PL-259 or N connector, I haven't decided yet. Can anyone make a recommendation? I've looked at bury-flex and RG-8X and some others but I am not sure what I should get.

Some other details: I will pull a mule tape through first, and I will grease the cable bundle as it goes through. I plan to run 2 coax and some multi conductor cable. Hopefully it will all fit within 2"
