First off, let me say I haven't seen the color options. If there were any, I would choose blue. ex factory) your layout can be easily adjusted due to the good cable length. As for durability, I don't know yet because I just installed it, but time will tell. They're a little more expensive than other cable sets (around $20 or so) but are braided cables while others were just covered in cheap stuff or not wrapped at all. My overall rating: These are a good buy and they match my build perfectly (minus the color) and match my EVGA 750 PSU with no issues and I recommend them to anyone who asks.
