There is an audible difference, but it's pretty subtle. The physical length you need on stage is more important - 10' can be surprisingly short if you want to move around a bit, especially if you do as you should and run the lead through your guitar strap... that takes out up to a couple of feet of 'usable' length.

For live use you need to think in terms of practicality. For recording I use a 2m cable. The longer the cable the more treble and signal you lose.
A while ago I would have fully backed you up on that - the original PW cables were the most unreliable I've ever come across - but I haven't seen a dead one for a long time now, so I'm sure they've fixed whatever the problem was.
Definitely avoid the ones they used to do with the odd 'concertina' bits on the plugs too - they damage jacks.

You can have whatever length you like.
My preference is 15ft cables. Long enough to let me move around a bit, not long enough to trip me up or trample underfoot.
Who'd have thought it!

Wow that's pretty long. I'm sure I remember seeing people on Rig Rundown using curly cables specifically for the extra length, thus warmth, they provide.
Just remembered I was going to ask you something - I saw in the guitar shop earlier that Fender have some new cables out available in curly and straight in some lovely pastel Vintera type colours - any idea if those have more reliable connectors than the tweed CS ones?
