interconnect vs speaker cable

Everything being equal, and I use that term loosely, of course; which one, interconnect or cable, gives you the most sound for the dollar? How about this way? Again, things being equal, which would you upgrade first, or better yet, if you could only upgrade one, due to $ (and you couldn't make the other upgrade for a long while), which would it be? I know, I know, there are loads of other factors, but just let's pretend there aren't any, or, again, everything's equal. There's that ubiquitous "equal" again. Thanks in advance.

Look at it this way:

1. Everything between source and speaker distorts the signal in some way.
2. No cable can return a distortion to its original state.
3. The closest thing to your source is the first to distort.

Since the speaker cable cannot correct whatever your interconnect flux up, the IC would take priority IMO.

All things being = , of course...
