Honestly, I don't believe there is really much of an advantage to buying big expensive "Acoustic Guitar" cables honestly. Monster and other companies really reel you in with this stuff, and I can say from experience that if you buy good quality cables from jump they work from instrument to instrument. The smartest and most cost effective thing you can do is make your own instrument cables. If you are somewhat good with a soldering iron, you can make your own cables with extremely good quality cable for half the price. I use Mogami cable and that works well for me. If you don't own a soldering iron or have friends that do, I would stick with regular guitar cables and don't fall victim to such marketing ploys. Make sure to get cables with life time warranties, as you can always replace them if they break; which they will!
