Hello,
Of course I am no expert but I have always used random wires. Any length from 20' to 80' plus. I like to go into my attic and then go back and forth between the rafters to get out as much wire as possible. I have used #14 stranded wire but for receiving anything would work. This is just one option and there are many more out there. This has worked great for me with the added benefit of being "hidden" in the attic. Good Luck and let us know what works best for you.
