Projector Hookup / Component Cable Advice

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Since I'm not sure where I'll get a better response, I'm going to post this in both Cables and Video:
Hello. After waiting for over a month, (employee purchases go to back of line) I was just notified my backordered InFocus 110 projector will be picked tomorrow, and that's good. But I also realized I have a setup problem since I don't have 30' component cables or interconnects. My DVD player is for video only, so I suppose I could use either, but from reading these forums, it seems that long component cables are preferred and I may end up with a single universal player at some point. I don't want to skimp but I also don't want to waste money that could be better spent. So far, the cheapest cables I've found of the Belden/Canare type is a 25' run of 1694A/Canare for $67. Can anyone tell me if this seems reasonable or if there are better options? The Canare L-4/5CFB type cables seem more expensive. Any adivice would be welcome as I'm new to projection and have never dealt with video cables.
Thanks,
OBF
