For the best speaker damping and least amount of power loss you will want to use the heaviest gauge that is practical. The length of the speaker wire should be considered when considering wire gauge. You will also want to consider the size of power amplifier you are using. The larger the amplifier, the heavier gauge you will want to use. Generally speaking, runs of 25 Ft or less work well with 14 gauge. Over 25 one should use 12 gauge if possible. These numbers are not set in stone, but generally work well.
 
DAC cable available from hifimart is very good. I am using AWG18 cable. You can also look for MX brand speaker cables. Avoid very low priced cables which are normally found in Electronics stores. Some FMs are using finolex electric cables as speaker cables.

Generally 12-14 AWG for fronts / centre and 16-18 AWG for surrounds. But for the HT-S3500 you can use a good 16-18 AWG for all the speakers.

Finolex..and v-guard is also good. It's a good idea to try and buy low gauge wire and use a pair of low gauge wires twisted to make a single wire (braided). I have used finolex 16-14awg for AC/DC wiring inside amps and 16awg for speaker use. MX is an economic choice.
