Default Bad discovery...need some advise

I was was looking over my bow the other day and made a bad discovery. I noticed that the serving part on one of my cables where it loops around the post is broke and unraveling. Now I need to get this all fixed before the season, only a few months away.

My question....I'm heading over to the pro shop tonight to have him look at it, but I figured I would try to get a little heads up info before I got there. Will he be able to just reserve the cable and make it like new?...or is that not possible and I will need to have the entire thing replaced? If I have to have thecable replace, I intend on doing it all (string, buss, cable, etc.).....so what would be a good string company to go with? A few I've heard of are Winner Choice and Zebra? Are these good? I've never heard anymore about them than that?

Also...if a better option is to have the pro shop make me a string, what would be a good material for it? I know some are for speed, others for no-stretch, but I'm oblivious to the pros and cons of each. Any suggestions?

I know this is kind of an out there question...but any advise you guys can give me in advance is greatly appreciated.

You can't go wrong with Gibblet's strings...he made mine for $55 and when the Shop tech at my favorite bow shop saw them, he said...man gotta get me some of these!!!
