HDMI cable question

Any recommendations for HDMI cable for a new LCD install?

Will be going from the comcrap HD box and from DVD player. Don't worry I'm not going to get suckered into buying the monster cables at the big box store - just wondering what others have used.

Here are some possibilities - what do you guys think.

Thanks

Now wag, how can I take your advice seriously with that "factoid" in your sig.

The cables on my links are $12 - just curious if I am missing something.

More of a 'low groin strain' than 'high ankle strain' IMHO

I agree with Wagner and SG...high-priced HDMI cables are a complete scam.
