RG8/U and RG8A/U has been obsoleted and RG213/U is the modern replacement. Both RG213/U and RG214/U are considered military specification cable. This is very rugged cable and a popular choice among amateur radio operators. However, the cable begins to be noticeably lossy at higher frequencies. A 50ft run of RG213 for the 2m ham band is perfectly acceptable. A 100ft run of RG213 for the 70cm ham band is ill advised. RG8/U and RG8A/U has been obsoleted and RG213/U is the modern replacement.

Comparing RG8X and RG58: They are both the same diameter. RG58 is more flexible. RG8X has slightly less signal loss. In a mobile installation any loss below 1GHz is inconsequential.
