Q) What electrical difference exists between the smaller RG-58 and larger RG-8 coaxial cables?
A) RG-8 cable has less loss at a given frequency

Besides electrical differences, physical handling and routing are sometimes considerations. For example, you would not want to use a heavy and stiff coaxial cable for a short cable between an HT and a handheld antenna.
