Best speaker wiring

Reviewing some threads on speaker cables for my bi-wirable speakers, I have learned there are different ways of wiring. I was wondering which wiring is the best of the followings and why if possible, assuming the same materials and prices.

1. Single line bare wiring jumping with bare wires/jumpers
2. Double line bare wiring
3. Internally bi-wired cables with two connectors in amp end and four connectors in speaker end
4. Internally bi-wired cables with four connectors in amp end and four connectors in speaker end.
5. Wiring with two sperate pairs of cables

Thank you.

I wouldn't get too caught up in all the cable hullaballoo. To keep it simple, I'd suggest a set of the WBT power bridges to link the high and low binding posts, and then run a pair of "single-wired" (one pair of connectors on each end) cables. I prefer the WBT midline banana plugs for this purpose.

As far as the type of cable, I really think 12 AWG copper "zip cord", which you can get at your local home supply store is fine. Should be about 50 cents a foot, and sounds great. If you can find larger gauge, then that would be even better.
