This is our go-to cable for customer installs and most "tower" installs:  Primus  C5CMXT.  It is flexible, durable, and overall easy to work with.

Superior Essex OSP BBDG copper clad for all AP and BH.  Superior Essex OSP BBD unshielded for customer installs.  The cable is flooded, UV, and direct burial and color of pairs are solid colors which make crimping in low light easier.

+1 on the Primus . We use the WCC5CMXE for installs and towers.  We get it on a wooden spool ( I hate pull boxes, especially when the get wet).
