Nothing in this hobby is mandatory... except for curiosity.
Well, that and some $$$$$.
You are gonna get tons of folks saying "yes, go all brand x, OR No, choose what you like as its your ears."
I've done both... and kind of prefer the latter. it's a mite more troublesome but the results pay off better IMO.
I like the MIT Mag series on a source better than as a main IC. Check out Dougs account on them at D Gogo too. I suppose hes talking retail prices here on the rigs he described, so I cant chime in on the above $30K range as to whats going to be needed cablewise in the upper atmospheres but anythings possible. Regrettably, or thankfully, Ill probably never know what wires are needed to run a $50-100K rig, so its a moot point for me.
I would only caution aginst one thing having too much of a good thing is not good usually. Meaning just cause you like a Zip Zap cable on your whatsit, dont mean adding another exact same type downstream is gonna become complimentary to the total mix . Again, such is my own exp.
