Default RG-6 QS, top brands?

Belden and Commscope are the top names in CATV/Satellite cables and
compression connectors are now the standard for all satellite installs.
T&B Snap-N Seal is considered the best of the compression connectors.
The two big satellite companies not only spec compression connectors but
also solid copper center conductor RG-6 due to the lower DC resistance
for powering equipment down the cable. If you use say, Belden 7915A
cable and T&B SNS1P6U connectors, nobody can ever say you skimped.

Hello,

I am just trying to get an updated list of the top brands of RG-6 quad
shield coax cable. I have seen posts from a few years back mentioning
Belden, Carol, and Commscope, but I just wanted to get an updated
list. I have seen Carol and Zenith brands at local stores recently,
are these any good? Mainly going to use this cable for running feeds
from HDTV & analog TV antennas in the walls of a house.

Thank you very much for all feedback,
