I'm currently in the early stages of converting my cabling over to Mogami W2534 cable (the same cable that Mogami uses in the gold series) and Xhadow xlr connectors. I haven't converted enough to know if the Xhadow connectors are worth the price but the Mogami is a no brainer. One advantage to the Xhadow is that the terminals non solder so it makes it much easier to build your own which is a major cost savings, though I would still tin the ends of the cable.
Mogami cable I believe has been for decades the industry standard in the upper echelons of the pro world in both studio and live applications. The Xhadow I'm not sure of, but with their reputation they probably are part of the equation at least in the studio world. The live world is probably too brutal to justify the expense.
