The 300Ω flat wire will be fine.........
300 Ohm twinlead (the flat stuff) is a lower loss transmission line than RG6 when installed properly. Additionally there is no balun loss to suffer, at least at the antenna end. The problem is it's difficult to install properly. It requires standoffs and periodic twisting and will not mate to most new OTA hardware without a balun transformer.
