1. I could do direct burial rg6 (may loose too much signal).
2. Direct burial rg11 , and have vz hook it up.
3. Just let vz handle it all.
Wondering if anyone has gone through this....what vz would charge, etc. thoughts?

How many outlets do you have in existing house?
Running 150ft and then splitting to 3-4 more outlets (all active at one time?) can add a lot of loss.
I would suggest that you make cable a home run and connect to splitter closest to ONT.
And if you don't plan to use all of the outlets, I would run to a closet where you can patch in only the one(s) needed to minimize the splitting needed.
And look for low loss RG6.
BTW, I wouldn't leave it up to FIOS (or any cable company) as they will use the cheapest cable.
Good Luck

I would run RG11 to the guest house to minimize loss. Use the RG6 for the coax outlets inside the guest house.

Be careful there. They, and others, have been known to insist on a seperate contract for guest houses, even rented rooms in the same house.
Even if they agree I suspect they would charge more.
Probably best to run the line yourself. RG11 would be good for longer runs.
