3 speaker cable options - what to choose?

Hi guys,
First of all, I new here, it's my first post, nice to meet you all.
Now to business:
I am looking to upgrade my current speaker cables (VDH cs-122)to something much better.
I have narrowed down my choices to 3 options:
1. Audio Art sc-5(se)
2. Morrow Audio sp-5
3. Clear Day Shotgun
My budget is $250-$350 and all three fall within this price range (either new or used), the ClearDay is a bit cheaper than the other 2, but the double shotgun version is out of my price range.
My speakers are 88db, 8ohms yet quite power hungry.

Which option will give me the best sound?
Any advice, especially from someone who's had a chance to here more than one of them, would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Well Stringreen , the Germans agree with me , KIA is the top-selling brand in Deutschland.
I spend a lot of time in Germany, universal distain for el-cheepo Benzes. VERY unreliable as well.

I've owned 3 Mercedes, primarily because I got great deals when I lived in Germany, not to mention I used to be a snob.
No question , E-class on up are great cars, but so is a Chevy Impmala which costs you half as much to buy and a quarter as much to maintain.
The motivating factor behind the vast majority of Benz sales in the USA is that it says I'm rich and you're not.

I have a bookshelf speakers rated at 85dB 8 Ohm. I use Clear Day Shotgun and I'm perfectly happy on it. I find it ironic people use garden hose SC while speakers voice coils are not thicker than 30AWG.

Redline , you (and about 100 others) talked me into buying a pr of Clear Day Double Shotguns w. jumpers. for my 86db Totem
Model 1 Signatures.
Just received today, about 2 hours in , music no longer comes from the speakers, just there rock solid in space and tone.
OMG what will they do when broken in?

Right now, Louie and Ella are doing " Autumn in New York" ,sounds like a live gig at Birdland.
