Best speaker wiring

I wouldn't get too caught up in all the cable hullaballoo. To keep it simple, I'd suggest a set of the WBT power bridges to link the high and low binding posts, and then run a pair of "single-wired" (one pair of connectors on each end) cables. I prefer the WBT midline banana plugs for this purpose.

As far as the type of cable, I really think 12 AWG copper "zip cord", which you can get at your local home supply store is fine. Should be about 50 cents a foot, and sounds great. If you can find larger gauge, then that would be even better.

I would agree that you should lose that jumper between the terminals, replacing it with power bridges or not depending on the biwiring choice. I have some speakers that sound better with two runs of cable and some that don't. For the speakers that sound beter with two runs, I haven't found any improvement over 2 at the amp end and 4 at the speakers.

Unfortunitely, the only way for you to know for sure is to try it yourself.
Each method you mention could be the best or worst depending on what speakers, what cables, what jumpers if you don't biwire, what amplifier, your hearing, yada yada yada.

You can also biwire, etc, using a different type/brand of cable for the high and low frequency terminals.

If you don't biwire, definitely get rid of the stock jumpers they give you with the speakers. Most (not all) people who use jumpers, have more luck putting the cables to the high frequency terminals, with the jumpers going to the low frequency terminal. (Try it both ways.)

This should keep you busy for about a month or more!

Thanks for your ideas/suggestions/opinions.

It seems to me there is no absolute in wiring, and anything could be good or bad depending upon your components and/or your ears. And, why are people concerning about wiring?
