Recommendations for Composite Video Cable?


It's a two-part question:

In my decidedly middling HT set-up, will I benefit from upgrading the composite video connections (from digital cable box to TiVo to TV, and from DVD player to TV)? My TV does not accept component or S-video.

If yes, which brands and models of composite video cables do people like?

Up yours, pal. I searched the archives quite thoroughly and found little if anything. I chose to post this in HT rather than Cables. Sue me.
(He wasn't trying to be helpful.)

So, those of you who use TiVo and the like, how do you have it connected to your video monitors? It's composite output only, right? Likewise for digital cable, or am I missing something?
Thanks everybody. Consensus seems to be that I need a new monitor so that I can move to S-video or component. I have a late-80's 27" Proton TV, which refuses to die and, actually, I really like its picture. My wife seems intent on us getting a plasma or LCD flat screen but it's not in the budget right now. I, on the other hand, think we should get a widescreen CRT since we don't need a big screen in our small TV room anyway. Maybe I'll start lobbying. But I suspect we'll stand pat for a while longer.

On a 1-10 scale, with 10 being the best quality and 1 the poorest, where would you place composite, component and S-video?
