Re: ethernet cable type
Agreed. Stranded cable, any CAT5/5e/6 designation is fine (we're not pushing huge amounts of data down these cables).
Strain relief, and those plastic "hoods", are good. We keep breaking the little tabs off our (non-hooded) cables. It's easy to do when the cables snag on things, or when tethered at a practice field and you don't quite give it enough slack.
I own an RJ45 crimping tool so I think we'll just cut the broken ends off the cables and make new ones. This could be a worthy investment if you find yourself replacing cables a lot.
Finally, I like to buy from Monoprice.com. Great prices.
