they have different gauge cables, I'd recommend the
24awg unless your
running any of the lengths they have in 22awg.

Thanks Steve.

Doh, I should have asked this earlier.
What is the impact of the length on signal quality?

Looking at monoprice.
The 24awg come in 3ft, 6ft, 10ft, 15ft, 25ft and 35ft.
(The 10ft or 15ft would work for me.)
The 22awg also come in 25ft and 35ft.
The longer cable would be nice to have to
if I decide to move things around in the future.
