Best speaker cables for longer runs

I realize people like to keep their speaker cables short, but a redesign of my rack placement may necessitate runs of 20 feet or more. Any particular brands work well under such circumstances?

I have a theta dreadnaught ii and b&w 802d. Cost may be an issue as price does mount up.

Thanks for the suggestions. I currently use Nordost Blue Heaven, and like how they sound. However I find them very messy to work with, because they never really lie flat, get bent and crinkled, etc. I am also not sure I want to spend the money to get Nordost in long runs. But I would like to substitute something that won't sound worse.

Who sells Ocos? Don't see many advertisments for it?
I guess Anti-cable would be an interesting try, price certainly is right.

I will run Bi wire. Looking at the anti cable, if you run a 20' run biwire it's not actually so cheap. Although possibly still a bargain.

Anyone have any opinion on MIT for this purpose?

Steveaudio, it is certainly true there is a big depreciation it with cable. Isn't that why we hang out at audiogon?
