Best speaker cables for longer runs

I realize people like to keep their speaker cables short, but a redesign of my rack placement may necessitate runs of 20 feet or more. Any particular brands work well under such circumstances?

I have a theta dreadnaught ii and b&w 802d. Cost may be an issue as price does mount up.

I have used Canare 4S11 for 15 meter runs and it works very well. Neutral, easy to handle, and perfect for biwiring.

Tvad,

I once had a certified NSF technician come to my house to calibrate my rear projection HDTV. He was not an "audio guy". He looked at my anti-cable speaker cable and asked me if it was some sort of modern art, before I told him that those red wires sticking up in the air were speaker cables. After he stared at me for a second, he shrugged his shoulders and went to work. 20 feet of red wire! I gotta see this!
