You said…. Have watched a couple "Ask Dave" (Dave Casler) videos on this and look on line, but no mention on the if better or worse SWR.
Because it will not / should not matter, to the SWR measured, how you run ur transmission line coax.. All signals are within the shield so no external influence. If there is then you have common mode antenna currents that need to be eliminated by choking. Running the coax buried will aid in reducing the common mode situation.
