Belden 89207 wire

This wire is excellent and well reviewed by gurus such as Jon Risch, but it's a little hard to work with.
The inner pair has a loose twist and are insulated with Teflon, as is the tinned copper braid shield on the outer layer. This gives you the option of shielding the cable or not. This wire is rather stiff and getting the length right avoids stress on the plugs. Get strain reliefs if possible. The outer jacket is fairly strong, allowing you to clamp down with setscrews in a convincing manner.

As with all IC constructions, don't skimp out on the plugs. I recommend Eichmann Bullets. They would be a good match for this cable as they can accept fairly thick cables, have setscrews, and and generally good sounding plugs. This would also give you a 100% copper signal carrier from tip to tip. From here, the only way up is to go pure silver.
