HK's manuals probably stipulate even wire lengths because you never know when someone's going to use 30ga. wire. (look - a single CAT5 cable has enough wires to do my whole system!)
Like Ford Prefect - I bought Axiom cable, not for how they would affect the sound, but for looks (at least half my cable is exposed) and for ease of use (it's soft and pliable like buttah)... I easily could have gotten away with 14ga. lamp cord or even romex based on the length of my runs, but I appreciate the look of the Axiom stuff... and it was comparable in price to the bulk transparent pink stuff from the electronics store (even with my jobber's rate).
