Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire

New to Audiogon. I just purchased here PSB Imagine T2 speakers, driving them with an Arcam Alpha10.
I need at least a 20' speaker cable pair, but have a tight budget (no more than $250).
I have seen for sale elsewhere used Audioquest Slate biwire  cables, 23' and 21' lenght, bananas on both ends for $149, but also used Audioquest single wire GBC cables, 25', spades at both ends, for about $ 100.
Have not been able to figure out which are the better cables. The Slate cables are older, i believe.

I'd be grateful to hear your opinions or about references i should check.

Thanks, Manlio

Thank you Auxinput for your input( ...). I am fine with bananas, but both amp and speakers have gold plated termination. Does that not work well with the silver plugs?
And stereo5, thank you for your feedback as well. the PSB Imagine T2 may use a little emphasis on the bass. Do you think that $ 149 is a good deal?

Thank you all for your feedback. 
after so much hand-wringing I made an offer for the Slate cable, but i have not even received feedback from the vendor! so much for that!
stereo5, would you be interested in selling your Slate cables, if you still have them?
Again , thank you all and cheers!
