In wall power cabling- for Apartment Dweller


Howdy.

I need some advice on what kind of in wall power cabling (reasonably priced to cheap) is a step up from whatever my Landlord's go-to electrician would pick up at Lowe's to do the job.

I'm going to be installing 2 dedicated lines, and I need some knowledge on what brands of cable to use. Also, I won't be purchasing "audiophile Grade" circuit breakers, if they are expensive, but anyone have knowledge re: circuiut breakers- i.e. 15 amp, etc and some manufacturers that make them better than others, etc...

I've got my "Porter Ports" on the way (thanks again Albert!)
and I need to know what to do next.
Keep in mind that, once I move, 100% of my investment will be lost, so I'm not going to be purchasing anything that is really expensive.

THANKS!!!!

Is there any problem with solid core 10/2 awg Romex for the 20 amp line and 12/2 awg Romex for the 15 amp line? Is Romex "worst" sounding than THHN, MC, BX, etc.? Do you really need to use anything less than 10 awg? Is there a role or advantage for cryogenic treatment of the in-wall wire?
