Long Master/Companion link cable or long speaker cables?

I was wondering which of the following cable solutions would provide the best sound quality (for a given amount of money invested in cables):
  1. Two long speaker cables (in my case: 4 meter each) and a short M/C link cable, or
  2. Two very short speaker cables but an 8 meter long M/C link cable
 
I currently have the first – standard I guess - solution (long speaker cables), but my wife would prefer the latter since a link cable is more “anomymous” – right now one of my Frey cables is crossing a door opening making it very visible!
 
My current system is:
  • Derivalet 400 (soon to be upgraded to 440 pro), connected with the standard link cable
  • Nordost Frey cable (4 meters each side)
  • Wilson Audio Sasha 2
 
Any thoughts?

As far as SQ goes, I think a long interconnect and short speaker cables is the way to go. DH Labs cables are a good bet. They're cheaper than most others, but, IMHO, will sound just as good.
