Jagwire is good stuff. If you're going to buy a complete set, they should work fine. Just make sure you use shifter cable and housing for the shifter cables and brake cable and housing for the brake cables. The cables and housings are designed for their specific usage: Brake cables carry high loads while shifter cable housings are very stiff to provide accurate movement for shifting. Performance will suffer if you mix them up.
