Ponder that!

101 is 99.9% pure and 110 is 99.5% pure. Getting it to 99.9 involve more refinement, hence the higher price. Conductivity is listed as high. There are some alloys of copper that are strong and may be more suitable for an ultra thin base but the tradeoff is slightly less thermal conductivity. The crystaline structure is also affected by the way it was worked to stock form.
Here is an excellent link for all copper alloys, their uses, properties, and forms.
