What guitar cable should I buy?

Im about to get a new Gibson SG Standard and I was wondering what guitar cable, you should get. I thought buying a quality that is not too expensive but good. I looked online and thought about these three: 1. Live Wire Series lead quart "instrument cable right angled -. 2 Planet Waves Cable Right Angle classical instruments 3. Molten Lava Instrument Cable Straight-angle (PS I am looking the cable to also have a right end and one end at right angles)

Road Hog brand I use now and it the best I've ever had. I had some really horrible cable in recent years. I have an Epiphone SG so I understand why you want the final with a right angle. Unfortunately the store, I will not at a right angle at the time. I had a couple of things to tell the truth. I was looking for the thumb and has had none either. Anyway, if you Road Hog could get a right angle so I would say that you have best. Ever thought about going wireless? Unless you do not want to practice so I could see why you do not want the cost of wireless technology.
