If both units are true balanced designs, go with balanced lines and they don't have to be expensive ones either, save the bucks for better RCA wires, you can make some nice DIY balanced wires using canare or mogami wire and Neutrik connectors that will rival the big buck brands.

Ralph Karsten from AtmaSphere is correct.
You don't need expensive aftermarket balanced wires , good balanced circuits and decent cables are all you need.

Running single ended is another story, and this is where you shouldn't settle for less.
