Speaker Wire Help

Hi:
I just bought a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 8's and I was wondering what type of speaker wire I should use? I am actually very blown away by all the types of wires out there (gold, silver, copper, different gauges). In addition, I would also need suggestions on the types of terminations? The speakers can handle spades and banannas. What is a good length, I do not want to go to short or too long, if that makes any sense. Also, wondering if I should bi-wire? I am running a Harman Kardon AVR520 receiver, which is one of their high end non-thx receivers. I would greatly appreciate and help on this matter and where to buy. I would like to keep the price fairly resonable, less than $150.
Thanks for your help

Length is determined by how much you need.

An 8 foot pair of Analysis Plus Clear Oval is $99 brand new, terminated with spades or bananas. 10 foot $115. Can be purchased online at various lengths at AudioAdvisor.com

$149 will also get you an 8 foot pair of new old stock MIT Terminator 2 speaker cables at AudioAdvisor. These are the old models that sold for $252. They are a good value at $149.
