I can't really get excited for anything other than 12guage oxygen free copper. I've heard more expensive, and it makes no difference on the system's I've dealt with which probably max at about $10k.
I've heard some people claim that you should spend 50% of your money on cable, I almost beat them senseless.
I found an article once writtien by some old school analog audio engineer that said even 12 gauge copper stranded was almost overkill, if I could find it, I'll post it.
But as a rule of thumb with the places I've seen, 10% of system price is the max you probably wanna go, unless you need really long or are bi-amping.
