In my experience the hybrid singlemode + 18AWG stranded copper cables are 4x the cost per meter compared to running 1" liquidtight nonmetallic flex conduit and putting 24-strand loose tube riser cable in it ($1/meter or thereabouts) alongside regular 12 to 20 conductor 18AWG alarm system stranded cable.
If you do your own fiber cable you can choose between tight buffered/breakout and regular loose tube, depending on what type of panel you're going to terminate it in on the top end.
