Default Cables, Cables, Cables!!

So I need to connect all my instruments/audio units to my audio interface with audio cables...

Id like to ask some advice when choosing cables to carry signal since there are a few types and a few considerations to take into account

length?
Must they be balanced or unbalanced?
Shielded not shielded?
brand name connectors?
brand name cables?
Type of cable (copper or nickel?)
could you just use premade 1/4" jack-jack patch cables?
could you just use RCA cables with 1/4" jack-jack adapter?
are 3-5meter 1/4" jack-jack copper instrument cables too long/thick/bulky?

your views would be very appreciated!! thanks!
