Default RG6 or RG6 quad shield for antenna run?

I installed a Channel Master 2016 antenna on my roof

I now need to run coax from it to the inside of
house.... about 50 feet I think

Is RG6 quad shield the better choice over plain RG6 in
most cases? The price diff isn't that much actually.

If yes, why?

Thanks!


I'd use the RG6QS with Thomas Betts Snap-n-Seal connectors, you'll
never have a problem with signal loss, interference or water. Make
sure you get connectors compatible with QS also. When I wired my
house 10 years ago the price difference was so small I used QS and
have never had a weak signal going to 10 rooms via a distribution amp
in the basement. Both are just as much work why not do the best?
