A recent storm damaged the siding of my house so I'll have to have it replaced. The thought occurred to me to run some network cabling behind the new siding (and likely new insulation) while its all pulled off. Should I run standard riser cabling or outdoor-rated cabling if I do so?

Obviously the most ideal solution is standard in-wall but I don't have the appetite for such a project given half the house was built in the 19th century and I know such an undertaking would involve quite a few surprises that I almost definitely lack the know-how to handle, and I'll probably be moving in a couple of years so I don't want to invest too much time or money into the endeavor.

Alternatively is there a good type of conduit I could run instead?
