Full cable housing for the new snata cruz bullit

Hi,
I have an 07/08 santa cruz bullit, and have been riding it around 8 months now. All is well apart from the gear cable housing. I am having issues; I have tried both continuous cable housing and the standard way leaving exposed cable.
I ride near sheffield in the peak which is mostly rainy which means lots of sand and stuff gets into the cable. after about 1 good long ride i tend to lose either the top or bottom gear.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Options as I see them are nokon cable, braided, get a better rear mech (stronger spring; though I have a new LX on there at present) etc.
I got the bullit as it never needs any maintenance and yet i am being hampered by the gear cable1
many thanks...

thanks for that. cleaning every time is not an option
I presume the gore and snakes cable are not continuous?
If not do they still prevent dirt getting in?
cheers
losing one end tends to be cable stretch. dirt tends to lose more than one gear in a row.
