The solution is a proper balance of buffers and true bypass pedals. If all of the pedals are true bypass, the cable capacitance will add up to high frequency loss. If you use all buffered bypass pedals, you end up with a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a... well, a lifeless signal without dynamics or clarity. If you use all true bypass, and have one good buffer in the chain, the result can absolutely be better than plugging straight into the amp, even if everything is off.
As far as cables go, I build my own. I've used D'addario American Stage cable, and Redco cable with success. Both have low capacitance on par with Mogami. I just use cheap pancake connectors though. I don't move the cables once they are hooked up, so I don't care about durability.
