Probably not very many people in your own exact situation, but the last time I had "dedicated" LF I tried a lot of then-available cables and wound up with... 12 Gauge Romex, with cheap, tinned-copper spade lugs soldered on the ends. Stiff and a PITA to route and/or move around, but seemed to work with PP and 515s. I don't know about possible capacitance and SET; smaller gauge might be better. Yes, I know this stuff is very, very bad FR. Another problem is, this stuff is really cheap and easily available.
As an "intellectual" aside, perhaps OT, I am OCD/bothered these days with the thought that copper is prone to oxidation, and that copper oxide is not a good conductor. Perhaps to the rescue, a guy named Moray James (who makes cables mostly for professional applications) pre-considers and deals with oxidation as part of his "reasonable" designs for various applications. Also, I think he is another one who gives $ back if the buyer is not satisfied with his cables.
