Several years ago I wrote a review for Just Jazz Guitar comparing several cables. I think that the best value for the money is the Klotz LaGrange available at www.legatoguitars.com or www.jhalemusic.com among others. Those are about 9.5 out of 10. For a little less money the George L's are a 7 or 8 out of 10. The Monster is only a 7 or 8 and cost as much or more than the Klotz, depending on the model you select. Klotz is a great German company. Their mic cables are also excellent.
I'm intrigued by Analysis Plus instrument cable, since I love their speaker cables, but I haven't sprung for a set to try them out. I'd update the cable comparison, but it was a royal pain in the butt to do. BTW, the $400+ JPS Labs cable was the worst in the bunch, worse than the bottom-of-the-closet generic (which wasn't very good).
Get a 20' Klotz and you'll be set for life. If you use Legato or Hale, tell them Dave Stephens sent you. (I don't get a kickback, but it's nice to stay in their good graces). They also carry nothing but the best guitars and equipment.
