300 feet of Cat6 is within spec. Trench to 18”, put in conduit, terminate in a NEMA box and you should be good
Fiber is finicky for an average person to manage. Honestly I’d rather run coax before fiber, especially if it’s not a high demand area

It’s at the maximum of the specs and these are meant for straight connections and usually indoors. Potential differences,lightning strikes, there is a lot of issues that are hard to diagnose.
Using a preconditioned fibercable is absolutely not an issue even for an inexperienced user - and the price difference is neglible in the end.
