I have been looking at component cables online and some at long length is pretty cheap. Does it make much of a difference if it is made from rg59? Or what is the main difference to look for between the cheap and the expensive, thx

Still wondering if rg59 is total crap or if the norm is to get rg6 or higher.

Yes, RG59 is crap, RG6 is far better for slightly more money. Look at an RG59 cable and an RG6 cable, the center conductor is a lot thicker on RG6, the shielding is better too.
