I've used copper ICs with silver SCs, silver ICs with copper SCs, and currently run a mix of copper and silver ICs with copper SCs with good results.
Another thing to consider is the design of the cables themselves along with the materials used to create them. Some theories have been explained to me about skin effects, the flow of energy, etc... which I really don't understand and why certain cable designs may coexist easier when used together.
I take this all in and have experimented with different configurations, but I am more influenced by what I hear than what I read. Read the forums, and if you can afford to try a few different cables I think you'll get a better idea of what you like.
Have fun!
