Upgraded Spark Plug cables. What do you use?

I have a 2004 Dyna Wide Glide and I want to get some new spark plug cables for it. Anyone have any good opinions about what I should get or does it even really matter. I read some of them improve power and fuel efficiency??

I'm using plain old MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor cables.

Running the SE 10mm 'Phat' wires in orange; I did it strictly for the 'look'.

Pulled them apart to make certain that annoying 'SE' script would never be seen...

Unless your misfiring the type of cable will change exactly squat, other than looks of course.

X2 on this...

I replaced my cabled with SE cables. Only reason was my stock cable had a chunk missing out of the rubber coating and the SE cables are all that was in stock at the time.

If my stock cables didn't have a physical issue I would have never swapped.

SE 10MM wires here too. Red. I liked how they look... And everything with SE lettering on it obviously adds heaps of horsepower and gets you more chicks.
