Fractal Fanatic
Better is subjective, but there is a measurable difference between cables both mathematically and by what you hear. I didn't buy into it for a long time either until I did my own test a few years ago with about 10 different cables. What I discovered that "for me" was the lowest capacitance cable was not my favorite, but just as the math proved it was the brightest. At the time and with the particular guitar and amp it was the second lowest capacitance cable that really hit the sweet spot. Once I got into the higher capacitance cables it became a mudfest. You can dial around some of that, but the thing is that once the signal is gone you aren't going to get it back.
Now what no one has mentioned here is the input capacitance parameter on the input of the layout for the AxeFXII. This allows you to select a variety of values to try to get that resonant shift and high end roll off to taste. So with that on hand I would think that having a very low capacitance cable that will carry as much of the original signal as possible into the front end and then adjust accordingly would be a pretty good way to go.
But for me when it comes down to really getting super anal about it, I would say that if you aren't really going to have stress a whole lot about it until you start dealing with longer cables.
