Shelly,
I'll check at home tonight. I may have some of the exact wire that you're looking at and can send you some to play with. One other option to consider if you buy jacketed cables like the two types that you are proposing is to strip the jacket and shield, a semi-cumbersome activity, and then sleve the wire with nylon multifilament. I can help with that too since I have spools of the stuff left over from the Nugget Audio days.
