Mogami or Canare.

Monster is a joke.

Either or is fine IMO. Here's an interesting site debunking why more expensive cables are not always better (or shall I say worth it):

people say monster cables are evil because the company tries to sue any company using the word 'monster' out of existance. they do provide a lifetime guarantee however.

my advice is to get a soldering iron, set of clips, neutrik plugs and some nice shielded cable and make your own!

You could call it evil, but I call it corporate hubris. Monster sued an independant videomaker in Colorado because he made a DVD to teach children how to ski called Ski Monsters. It was just some guy trying to make a living selling how-to videos. Monster crossed the line.

This will end up saving you TONS of cash over time. Plus, with a little practice, you get excellent quality.
