Can’t go wrong with Cardas wire IMO.

On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

I’d recommend getting some advice from Johnnie at Audio Origami. Much of the Cardas tonearm wire being sold on eBay etc is strangely stiff, so not necessarily the best thing for a re-wire job. Johnnie’s Cardas wire of the same nominal gauge is much more flexible.
