The only problems I have had in 5 years is cable wearing through because it was not tied on properly and power supplies and ends going bad because water dripped into then.  I've never seen water hurt a cable, even a cut cable.  It only hurts the ends.  I have had cables get water in them so I make a cut at the bottom of the drip loop and then the water does not damage any more ends and power supplies, it simply drains out.

Thats a good comparison Tom.
Couple things I should note, which I thought about after I posted.
I live in the Pac North West, not the South West, Arizona Nevada or 
Texas. I'm not sure blue cat 5 would stand up in outdoor situations 
there when it is exposed to the hellacious sunlight there.
And when I run my cat 5 I try my best to hide it so it looks good. Like 
on the underside of eves and the backside of the fascia board, behind 
down spouts and gutters. those places do not generally get much sunlight.
And it's rare that I do an exposed roof run.

I really can only comment on my experience. I'm sure things are 
different in other parts of the country.

You made a good point that regular CAT5 actually can last quite a while, if 
someone wanted to use it.
And the cheapest if they wanted to use PVC, at $60 a spool/box.
