Speedway stainless brakelines and adapters, their CroMo heims are very durable too. Hell I have yet to buy anything from them I wasn't happy with. Same with Marlin, good products from a great company.
As far as cable vs rope that's a no brainer, I'll take my 3/8" viking line from winchline.com any day. Light and easy to drag if you need it and it is safe, no stored up energy to whip when it snaps. You can put all the coats you want over cable and it will still whip if it breaks on one end.
What I won't buy again... Some of the stuff I have bought from datinfab was drop shipped from TG so I gave it away rather than using it..
