Tonearm re-wire - what would you use?

Thinking of re-wiring my tonearm wire.

Just wondering, what do people re-wire with and how much did it cost and was it a lot or a little hassle?

Ie, isn't there a concern that the bulky XLR connectors will be a detriment to signal transmission? Frogman: Kudos to you for being able to manage the Audio Note wire. Triplanar did not feel comfortable re-wiring their tonearm with the wire because of how difficult it is to work with.
