so, i concluded that you can either, (a) get $10 cables now and for ever, or, (b) get $0.30 cables and change them every year or so.
what are your opinions on this?

In regard to this question, it's not opinions that matter but one's behavior. If you're one to buy a new toaster every year regardless of whether you need a new one or not, then that's what you are going to do. I would say buy inexpensive wire if you're one to change it out fairly frequently. No sense in flushing good money on expensive wire you'll be changing out down the road.
