Default String Materials Question

I'm looking at getting some custom strings and cables to replace my old Gibblet strings and cables. But the person who had the bow before me had them made and put on the bow so I know nothing about them. They're looking old and frayed so I think I need a new set.

There are three different materials and I've looked them up on their websites but I'm still really clueless to what the difference and pro's/con's are of each material.

BCY 8125
BCY 452x
Brownell X-cel

If someone could explain to me the differences and pro's & con's of each, that would be great.

I like the 452x, That's all I use on my bows andI shoot a lot of arrows.

I think that's what I've decided on also. Thanks for the reply Mike.

I see the archers choice link in your signature... you involved in the shows I take it?

I love them. I watched one last night when they were hunting bears in Manitoba I think it was and Ralph shot his bear and another bear dragged it off on him! lol pretty neat I've never heard of that happening before.
