I am moving my home theater and need to run new coaxe with longer runs. I have DirecTV with HD DVR. I want to upgrade the RG6 standard shield cable I have now. Each run will be in the neighborhood of 70 feet. I really didn't want to spend the $ on plenum or Belden 1694A cable. I was looking for a less expensive route. I did some surfing and came up with these two options.

The first doesn't have a solid copper core. The second is less expensive (per foot) but has a solid copper core. Which of these is a better quality cable? Is there a different cable anyone would recommend? Also will either of these deliver a high quality HD picture or do I really need to spend the additional $ on better cable?
Thanks
