I was wondering what would be the right coax for a 50 foot run for satellite work ? Actually maybe a little less ? Your help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You might want to consider hardline for the lowest possible loss. You aren't specific enough in your question to really be able to provide the answer you're looking for.
What kind of antennas are you using?
What frequencies?
Are you using a rotor?
Are they on a tower?
Are you using on-mast preamps?
Will they be portable?
Help us out here!

Mike, The best you can afford! And just as important, use the best N connectors, properly soldered for 2 meters and anything above.
Save money on the radio, but not on the connections.....
