Preferences on Line-Level Connections

I am trying to connect the pre-outs on an Onkyo TX-SR706 AV Receiver to a PolkAudio DSW 500 subwoofer as well as all three inputs on an Emotiva XPA-3. The plan is that the Emotiva will power the fronts (RTi A9s) and center (CSi A6) channel, and the Onkyo will power the surrounds (FXi A6s).

I want to use something that will, if possible, help minimize any hum since the cabinet that will house these will not allow for any significant separation of these cables and the power cords. I'm not a superaudiophile by any means, but I would like something that would be comparable to the rest of the system; that is, not a thrift-store special but nothing exotic, either.

The subwoofer line will have to be 10-12 feet long to get it where I want it. The other connections will be just long enough to connect the Onkyo and Emotiva.

Thanks in advance for reading and for any advice you may give.
