For my last build I used Jagwire (i was after white outers) no complaints so far - you can buy by the metre on ebay.

used goodridge, good strong thick, but weighty and the outers do tend to harden up over time.

sram flax jacket, thinner. lighter and good at keeping water out, fit and forget, but the outers also tends to harden up over time.

now using Jagwire, many colours, thin, faily flexable, fit and forget, so far no hardening "year on bike". still silky smooth with my XO gear levers.

not tryed any others, above only.

Another vote for Jagwire here. This eBay shop is where I get my stuff from, great prices and rapid delivery.
