Monorail with switchcraft plugs here too. Solder is the way to go. If you end up doing your own soldering, here's something I learned... The white plastic that covers the inside cable has a very thin black coating around it that you need to be sure to cut back a little bit. I was having a whole bunch of problems getting my patch cables to turn out and couldn't figure out why I kept finding shorts - low and behold the black stuff conducts electricity and can cause shorts in your cables.
The difference between the monorail and lower budget stuff is really pretty noticeable. If you have never made cables, it's pretty easy and there are some cool things you can do. Remember, even the monorail is intended to be directional. To help with this, I put red shrink wrap on the amp side of all the cables I make.
