The two brands/models of speaker cables I recommend to someone looking for good performance at moderate price are:
1. Alpha-Core Goertz MI1 or MI2 cables. You can order terminated or unterminated cables directly from the factory. These cables feature a flat, solid rectangular core that can be terminated with spades, bananas, pins, or a "hybrid" wire pigtail. For more info, or to order, see their Web site: www.alphacore.com/
2. Kimber Kable 4TC or 8TC. These cables are braided, with either 4 pairs (13 gauge) or 8 pairs (10 gauge) of braided, variable strand copper wire that is Teflon coated. Choose 4TC if you have fairly short runs, or 8TC if runs are longer. You can also combine the two sizes for bi-wiring, with the 4TC driving the mid-range and tweeter, with the 8TC driving the bass. Kimber Kable 4TC and 8TC are tried-and-true choices which have proven themself in many audio systems. If your budget is tight, you could also use Kimber 4VS or 8VS, which are identical to the 4TC/8TC product in their construction, except the individual wires are not covered with Teflon.
