FWIW, there are a lot of different kinds of "electrical tape". As with anything else, you get what you pay for. The cheap stuff is pretty worthless.
Other than the above suggestions (which may be better than what I am suggesting), go for name brand. Buy 3M tape, it is much better than the other stuff. I suggest either their Scotch 33+ or Super 88 vinyl electrical tape. Both are rated down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, and the Super 88 is rated as "all weather", whatever that actually means. If you can't get them at your local big box, try a real electrical supply place.
If you really want to geek out, try Googling "3m electrical tapes selection guide", they have an 8 page brochure on electrical tape.
As an aside, 3M makes probably tens if not hundreds of thousands of products, generally very specific and often very useful for specific purposes. Unfortunately, they have one of the worst, most confusing web sites and marketing materials that make it almost impossible to find and/or select what you are looking for. Just a little griping from someone that used to buy a lot of 3M products...
