Only a small difference in some ways, but having the threaded bushing as part of the frame rather than part of the nut is much stronger if the cable gets tugged.

One more question - regarrding wire - I've got some thickish guitar hook up wire lying around (22awg i think), is that going to be ok, or should I use lamp chord wire, or an old guitar cable or anything else?

sorry I'll stop pestering in a bit!
A bit overkill, but not too bad. The only problem is whether you can get it through the holes on the jack and speaker terminals, but I think you will with that. You shouldn't just solder it on 'flat', solder doesn't make a very robust mechanical joint and they can crack and fall off.

Those CAA cabs I did recently had 8AWG cable supplied with them, pure silliness
I did the fatal error of looking at american forums about the guages so was just wanting to get some sensible confirmation...
