With my experience, i've gotten more response with the cat 5 media then the USB2 media. But i havent done enough tests to be sure. This makes me curious, i'll get back to you on that.

How far can I go with Cat 5 cable?
According to ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A standard, "horizontal wiring" from a wiring closet to the outlet should be 90 meters or less, plus another 3 meters for a patch cord to the workstation. In round numbers, that's about 300 feet. If you use fiber optic cable to connect between buildings with different power sources, or go beyond 300 feet, you should consider using fiber optic line with a media converter at each end.

coaxial cable
Coax is always better than twisted pair. The 10base2 is a limited by the equipment on either end of the cable. The cable has a very high bandwidth capability, if the proper equipment is attached on either end. If you look at it from a very narrow data person’s point of view, not an electronics person, 10base2 is slower than cat 5 cable. Cat 5 cables won't come close to RG-58.

cat5 cable
Cat-5e is enhanced Cat-5 cable. The only difference between the two UTP cables is the tested signal level. Cat-5e is tested at a higher frequency or signal level than regular Cat-5. You could find Cat-5 and Cat-5e anywhere for about the same price. Getting Cat-5e means you are getting cable that is tested under higher standards.
