Cedar Rapids, Iowa | If you're going to bury copper, use something rated for direct burial. Alternately, plow in some conduit and pull wires through that.

FYI, Monoprice tends to run 10-15% off sales on weekends.
If all your buildings get power from the same main power transformer, then I would consider copper for your application. If you are getting power from different transformers, there could be a differential voltage between them and your network cable becomes a ground loop. In that case, use fiber or wireless.
You can get pre-terminated fiber pretty cheap these days. You would need a conduit for it though.

If you went with wireless equipment, your cost is something like $60 per side for a Ubiquiti NanoStation Loco | |
