My daddario cable just started wigging out and this is like the 5th cable ive been though in 7 years. I'm hard on my gear in general. What cables should I order next in particular?

If you're the crafty type, learn to solder. I've fixed dozens of (cheaply soldered) cables over the years, it usually takes all of five minutes.

Otherwise you can see if livewire still has their lifetime guarantee (only on the more expensive cables, but if they ever break they'll replace it, forever).

Get a pack of heat-shrink of different diameter, good soldering iron and lead free solder, good pair of flush-cutter pliers and you're good to go

You often don't even need heat shrink for guitar cables, they're pretty simple.
