spark plug wire question

what kind of spark plug wires do you guys use? and why is there such a large difference in resistance per foot between different types and brands. I just bought a set of Accel 300+ thundersport wires from some guy on ebay for $25 and they have 150 ohm/foot resistance while other wire sets i have seen advertise resistance in the thousands/foot. What are the advantages and disadvantages between the varying resistance levels?

By the way, i think i got screwed because in the ad he claimed the set was good for both 2nd and 3rd gen rx-7s. But i just checked the accel homepage and they have two different sets for 2nd and 3rd gens. He sent the one for the 2nd gen. I have a '95 with pettit intake, dp, catback, and power fc.

Magnecore wires seem popular.
