What leads you using.....?

I use George Ls in front of my amp and nice heavy duty non shielded cable for cabs. Brand doesn't matter to me for speaker leads.
Geore ls sound great, you can custom make them to any length, and if you do have a problem, you can fix it in seconds. All you need is a sharp pair of scissors or razor knife and a flat head screwdriver.

You don't need to pay an arm and a leg for good cables.
Whatever you get you would be well advised to get Neutrik plugs which are bullet proof - I've run a car over the plug and its pretty much indestructable.... would recommend

Neutrik plugs and van Damme cabling... i've got a big reel of the stuff and just make up my own cables. The good thing is you can re-use the ends when the cable goes.
Neutrik have also just introduced some silent switching plugs which i'm a bit sceptical about, but will buy a couple to see how they go...

Do you use a 1/4 inch adaptor?

I was using Whirlwinds and Dimazio's, but I'm using curly leads at the mo. No idea who made them.

Good plugs and good shielding are important, not brand names. Neutrik makes good plugs as others have mentioned but I wouldn't limit myself to those as they are quite expensive. Look for cables with as close to 100% coverage, braided shielding as you can find. Some also have additional foil shielding but that is not as common. You can get cheaper, like 50% coverage braid also but I wouldn't go there. Spiral wrapped shielding sucks and is unreliable mechanically. Use any pure copper cable that you like for the speaker connection inside a combo, just make certain that the terminals are tight so you don't damage your amp with an intermittant load. If you have a head and cabinet, the same thing applies for the wiring inside of the cabinet. You should have a nice, heavily jacketed speaker cable for connection them though, not a guitar signal cable even though they both use 1/4" plugs.
