Who uses what cables?
My main instrument cables are Fender, cos that's what the shop had when I needed some......
The main patch leads on my main (home use) board are from Kabl, and they're great.
I'd recommend both.
I've had Venom cables (and still use a couple) which are ok, until they get stood on (not even heavily), then they ain't.......Break very easily.

Pedals - George L 155 with Hicon pancake jacks soldered. Also using Neutrik right angle jacks with GL155 at home
Been trying the Bullet coiled cables for the power trio for the look mainly!
I do test & repair them myself too

I went with George L for a while and difference was very noticeable, however I found them too unreliable. They're OK if you keep your board static but I was always chopping stuff in and out, and then they'd let you down at the least opportune moment.
I'm now using Lava cable. Very much more reliable, not had a problem yet (touch wood).

OK, joking - I've got a grand total of two leads, a Fender one I've had for aeons and a KABL one that is brilliant and just feels a different class. If ever I need three leads I'll get another Kabl one...
also have a couple of klotz and a sommer that i picked up to try different things
One of the silentjacks too, which I have nothing but praise for. So much easier than the switch I see on the planet waves stuff. Means I don't forget to turn the bugger on either.

Even the very short time taken for you to swap a cable will make it extremely difficult to hear the very subtle differences in reasonable quality cables. Your memory will likely play tricks on you.
I found it very easy indeed to hear the difference between Van Damme Instrument cable and George L .255. The van Damme was a huge loss when used as patch cables with Neutrik ends (aparently the NP2C is itself quite a high capacitance).
