Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

Not critical. Define "best"

RG6 coax has a signal loss of about 3 - 3.5dB per 100-feet at 100MHz (US FM Broadcast Band). Unless you're running it a great distance, it's not all that critical.

I would look for a cable that is somewhat flexible and easy to manage. RadioShack has RG6 quad-shield cable in various lengths already terminated with "F" connectors on each end.

Another 75 Ohm coax is RG59. It's a bit more lossy than RG6 but it may be more flexible and easier to work with, if that's important to you.

Again, it's not very critical unless you're running upwards of 100-feet or more.
