Best headshell leads for cartridge/tonearm combo ?

I've noticed that Sumiko, Cardas, Clearaudio and Audioquest all sell headshell leads. Any favorite recommendations or preferences regarding sound quality with such arms as SME, Graham or others ?

I think the silver van den Huls are probably the best (IMO) and are what SME supplies with their arms.
