What do you suggest for this application?

RG8 is the better choice of the two. It's usually foam-core, and low-loss.
It's also got a little faster (lower) velocity factor than RG58, making it
lower-loss over a given length of run.

Ham radio rule-of-thumb: Even with cheap, homebrew antennae, NEVER skip on
the feed-line. Use the best you can afford, because most of your operating
power losses are there, not in the antenna.

Ayup..knew that. Ive had reasonbly good luck using RG8x..the mini
version of plainjane RG8...but wasnt looking for DX capable radios.
The antennas are mounted at least 25' above the water...so some loss
wasnt a big concern
