Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Any mid-level of better cable and housing kit is fine. You want to make sure you have lined housing, and die-drawn stainless steel inner wires. On the brake cables, the upcost for stainless inner wires is greater, and the benefit less, so it's one feature you might scrimp on.
