Hi 3donkey,

I would say cable choice will not change your sound significantly.

For me, cable choice has never gotten in the way of tone. As long as it's not a cheap brand, like Hosa, you're OK.

I've used Whirlwind and Fender with no problems. There are some expensive cables out there like Mogami, Monster and George L but I don't think you'll notice a difference that has an effect on your playing or sound.

If I was recording an album in a high end studio, I would think more about using those cables. I've had two Monster cable and they both broke.

My advice is to go with an average, mid-grade cable with a decent reputation.
