Careful choice of cabling can provide notable synergy within a system, regardless of using the same maker's product line-up, or using a mix and match approach. While using the same make within a system can exaggerate the sonic signature or "house sound" of a particular cable design, it can also provide more of a good thing in some cases. It may depend on the manufacturer's design approach, particular applications, and the listening taste of the user.
My usual stance is there is no rule when it comes to how one finds satisfactory synergy, and that includes recognition of special synergy when a similar cable design actually provides more of a good thing when implemented for different applications within a system. I recently mentioned such a case in Cable Asylum when the same wire, dielectric, and connectors clearly provide a more transparent sonic signature when used for both line-level and digital applications within my main audio system. It changed my mind about a prior configuration involving a mix and match approach.
If you continue to research the topic, you might find insights that fit your own goals based on an informed choice, or simply follow your instincts and experiment with various cabling within your own audio system.
