What are people using on their mechanical discs on their new disc equipped cx/road bikes?

I was just wondering as my cables are looking pretty tired and worn so will need replacing soon. Is there a super weather resistant option or just stick to stabdatd steel inners?

I am using the [url= http://jagwire.com/products/v/road_pro_xl ]Jagwire Road Pro XL.[/url] Has to be the XL kit, as the regular kit doesn't have long enough brake outers to run a full length. Your bike won't need this if it's got interrupted runs. It's also compressionless for whatever that's worth.

You can get the complete gear/brake cable kit for [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jagwire-Road-Pro-Break-Gear/dp/B002LLA69Q/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1396171446&sr=8-5&keywords=jagwire+brake+cable ]£32 from Amazon (Select N/A from the drop down and black/black should be the Road Pro XL).[/url]

Std outer & stainless inners here, but I always track down metal ferules if I can.
Boring but they have never given me any grief.
I always use full length outers also.
