The gold standard in reasonably priced video cables is Belden 1694a. It is an RG-6 variant. Well under a buck a foot/strand and outstanding performance for HDTV component cables. Anything more is overkill, IMHO. You can build 'em yourself or have one of the cable building companies build 'em for you.

The 7710a Frank mentions is just 3 x 1694a cables in a plastic jacket. If you're running this in a wall, 3 individual strands of 1694a will be less expensive than 7710a.

I'm running a 35' RGBHV run of 1694a to my Sony G 70, which I run at 960 x 1440 x 72 Hz, which translates into more bandwidth by far than 720p or 1080i component. No visible degradation over a 3' run of the same cable.
