Stuck between RG6 and RG11 for a long run yesterday

Had to do a 300 foot drop for a new apartment complex near Dayton. I figured RG6 would be fine but my buddy said go with RG11 for less signal loss. Picked the RG11 and honestly it was a pain to pull through the conduit but the signal test came back perfect. Cost me an extra $60 but saved me a redo call. Anyone else choose RG11 over RG6 and regret the extra work?

Yeah that extra labor is rough but RG11 basically guarantees no callbacks on long runs.

Watch the voltage drop on long runs though, RG11 cant fix crappy connections.
