Outdoor Cat6 cable?

We are going to be installing 10 outdoor access points at various buildings over the summer. The cables will be run inside as far as they can, but eventually will exit a wall or conduit and be exposed for probably less than 10ft. Should I go with an outdoor rated Cat6 cable, or from searching around some people use direct burial cable for this purpose?

I had used some outdoor Cat6 cable before, and it had vaseline or something inside the cable and made it difficult to terminate, is this the case for most outdoor cable?
