In my experience the black coated cables work great. They're very smooth and they maintain very low friction for a long time. The coating is hard and works better and doesn't slough off like polymer and teflon coated cables, which can gum up the action.

The Jagwire compressionless brake housings I've used have a Kevlar wrap whereas the Yolozuna housings have flat steel wrap and are a fair bit larger in diameter than the Jagwire housings. The Jagwired housings come with a spiral wrap section for increased flexibility going round the bend from the ramps to the tops of the bars under the tape, but I don't use it.
