Well after being a uni bum for the first 6 months of the year I got a job and being used to not spending any money I saved up a heap in a few months and went a little crazy buying a;
Diago Powerstation
EHX Cathedral
Pedal Train Pro pedal board
and a Musicomlab EFX MKII Audio Controller
all within 3 weeks

Now all i need to do is set it up all nice and neat and I need a crap load of patch cables as now each pedal requires a send and return cable into the EFX MKII.

I was thinking of using Lava cable patch leads as they're a little cheaper than George L's and just buy a huge set of right angle connectors on ebay (about half the price than in my local music shop) then just go in a buy the Lava cable from the shop as it's basically the same price, also this way I can work out how much I need and get it all sorted out on the spot. And as I bought the pedaltrain and EFX MKII they should (and most likely will) help me set it up if they're not too busy.

Should I just cough up the money for decent patch leads or just go and buy some more cheap ones and get it done.
I have a feeling if I don't get it set up properly at the start I probably never will.

At the same time I've spent more money in the past few weeks then I made for most of last year...

Help me shortscale!

lava cables, they're excellent. end.
George L's are great if you don't move them about much
lava's are the same but they're lower profile

George L's are great regardless - I move them about all the time and never have a problem, as long as you make a good connection in the first place.
Anyway, in answer to your question, don't just get a bunch of cheap patch cables if you can afford not to, good ones really do make a world of difference.
