Some people get real excited about speaker wire. Myself, I am mostly looking at the conductor material and size. I prefer stranded cable too, which has some technical benefits at HF, but actually those benefits are mostly realized at frequencies above the audio band. Still it doesn't hurt. It's easier to work with too, as solid core wire isn't flexible. So it all boils down to size, in my opinion. A good pure-copper, low guage (large), stranded speaker cable is what I look for.
