Doesn't matter , if the antenna is resonant , and a 50 ohm impedence , then it doesn't matter how long the cable is .
Just use cable with as low a loss as possible for your particular frequency .
I have 100 feet from my shack to the roof of my house , and I can hit pretty much anything in the U.S when the bands are open with 100 watts and a homemade antenna
