Based on my experience (who else's?) I've come to the conclusion that determining single-wire v. bi-wire differences is like chasing windmills.
I would recommend demo'ing and/or buying the best, most highly recommended/reviewed cables you can get your hands on. Whether mono- or bi-wire terminated.
In the end, I believe when you've found the right cable, it won't matter which type it is.
But keep in mind, that if you are looking for cables in the right circles, you will spend substantially more for the bi-wired versions.
Not long ago, I went from good middle-of-the road internally bi-wired but single-ended terminations to the exact same cable but now bi-wire terminated. And I enjoyed those improvements.
I recently went to a single-terminated coaxial cable no thicker than my keyboard cable and have not looked back. Biggest sonic improvement of any cabling I've ever tried. And by a wide margin.
-IMO
