Best wire to connect amplifier binding posts?

I would like to know what is the best wire to use to connect the outputs of an amplifier to its binding posts.

In particular I'd like to know what the recommendations are with regard to:

* Conductor material: copper, OCC copper, silver

* Conductor construction: solid core, stranded, Litz

* Conductor gauge

* Insulation material

Skin effect at audio frequencies is a total non-issue. You really don't see the effects until you're up into the MHz+ bands.

Just make sure the wire you use is of good quality and of sufficient gauge to support the anticipated power plus a little extra....
