I'd look at investing in a quality product that will last. My speaker cable came with a Marshall JMP I bought about 16 years ago and has done 100's of gigs and rehearsals since then as part of various rigs. It's a good quality one and the guy I bought the amp off said it was expensive. Does it sound better? Maybe. But it is very good quality and made to last.

The plugs are the most important part. The only ones worth using are Neutrik NP2C or NP2X - they're far better than any other type because both conductors are machined from single pieces of solid metal so there are no riveted connections to come loose or get corroded, and the cable clamp is the best of any 1/4" plug.
Robustness is what matters - there's no difference in sound once you get above a cable gauge which is basically inadequate, but if the cable fails when the amp is putting out significant power there's a good chance of damaging the amp, possibly seriously.

Agreed, orange mains cable and yes, use Nuky plugs if you can. The cable is actually not the weakest link in the system. A 4 Ohm feed from a 100 watt amp is sailing close to the contact current rating of jack sockets but has never been a problem that I am aware of.

The quality of the connections is what matters here, the cable itself just has to be physically robust and to have sufficient capacity.
A speaker signal is nowhere near as delicate in tonal terms as the signal from your passive guitar to your amp.
