Stripped probe is electric. Looped probe is magnetic. Stripped/looped probe is mixed probe. If you use coax - leave the shielding, just make sure to leave a gap. Just look at this picture [1] from this quite good article [2]. Depending on the design/equipment, you might need balancing/symmetrization.
Also directivity/sensitivity. While turn count will improve overall sensitivity, loop size will increase directivity. Keep in mind that both loop size and turn count affect probe filtering characteristics (it IS a filter), so I highly recommend experimenting with several designs. Have a look at my attempt at making magnetic probe from RG174 [3]. It is fat because of two layers of thermal shrink tube, which made it stiff enough for my experiments :)
It is hard to tell from a picture, but it should be that this probe uses two wires exactly for this purpose: one acts as a central conductor, other as a shield.
