Wouldn't it be great if there was a simple, black and white answer. I'm sitting here with half a dozen technical data sheets from Belden Wire and Cable Company on RG 58/U (9223), RG 58/U (8240),RG 58C/U, RG 58A/U, RG 142 (83242) and RG 142 (84142) and it looks like they make excellent bathroom reading material...my eyelids are already beginning to droop. Is there any compelling reason why I should not go to my local Radio Shack store and buy x number of feet of Tandy RG58 cable and then move on to the next project?
