You are wise to avoid Monster.

All cable of the same gauge is essentially the same. For shorter runs you could get away with 16awg. Runs longer than 30 feet or in the walls should probably be 12awg. I personally just use 12awg for everything since the price isn't that much different.

For a subwoofer, just get an RG-6 cable with an RCA-type connector.

I got my most recent cables from Blue Jeans Cables and have been very pleased.
