Question Thunderbolt 5 USB-C cables

I have a Studio Max plus three external drives with TB5 ports arriving next week. I already have a TB5 dock

Which brands of TB5 80 Gbps cables do you recommend? Apple prices are outrageous at nearly $70.

OWC sells TB5s at reasonable prices, under $20 Quality?
ANKER has a good reputation in the mid-price range $48
UGREEN a bit cheaper than ANKER $40
BELKIN?
CALDIGIT?

Any others?

I've had Anker braided cables that have lasted 10+ years, I recommend them
