Wiring temp for NEMA heads

I got some 175 watt NEMA heads on the bay. Before I get yelled at for buying and using "obsolete" mercury vapor, I do not want to have LEDisease or HPSyndrome. What temperature rating of wire should I use for supply line? The wires attach on terminals mounted to the fiberglass board on two of those Joslyn ballasts and directly on terminals attached to the socket I'm an old Westinghouse fixture. A buddy of mine, also a member of the lighting gallery, got away with regular 90c romex but I think heat and uv radiation will kill the wires with age. Thanks in advance. :) :mv:
