    Any stainless steels one will do fine.

    As Nick says.

    Well maintained, 'common or garden cables' will outperform filthy poorly maintained flashy ones

    Agree with that. If you're going to do posh pimpy cables it's PowerCordz for my money.

    XTR ones for the rear, anything for the front.

    I use halfords ones and they're fine. You just got to remember to get the right sized stop on the end.
