If you go with cable, make sure you have a good crimper. I don't mean a vise, I mean a cable crimper. 330 used to do lifts a lot (then discovered the joys of a single-joint arm), and when they did, they used cable, powered the lift both ways, and used a crimper used for aircraft cables. I don't think we broke any cable or crimps, though we once bent a lift by powering down while it was all the way down. Yes, bent.
