Andrew,
It depends, if you are really concerned about stuff like cable losses 
transient noise, and stuff like that the high end connector/cables would 
reduce that stuff. Probably for studio recording or live work you may want 
those little extras. For just doing home tinkering it doesn't make that much 
difference. The only exception may be the stiffness of the cables which 
would help keep them out of the way.
Personally, I like to have the cables hanging down. It looks more technical 
and complex.
Your Belden cable should work just fine. As I said before I use 50 ohm coax 
for my cables. The one thing that is important is the connectors themselves. 
The expensive ones discussed previously would not wear as much.
Jim
