I bought 2 of these for my bikes [url= https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Shimano-MTB-Gear-Cable-Set-With-Stainless-Steel-Inner-Wire_51239.htm ]https://www.tredz.co.uk/.Shimano-MTB-Gear-Cable-Set-With-Stainless-Steel-Inner-Wire_51239.htm[/url] enough to do both the dropper and rear gear. At the time with tredz £5 pop up code that was the cheapest. As ever shop about.

I've been buying the Uberbike stuff for a while and it's been great. Surprised no one ever seems to recommend it.

Shimano cable and casing inc the genuine ends.
Often better value off the reel from a bike shop rather than generic kit which you don't use all of.

Shimano 11 speed sil tech inner cables are a bit costly but on most bikes I've found the sram pit stop ones work ok and are 1/4 of the price.

11 speed stuff does not like cheap cables

Edit avoid the first generation gold coated Shimano inner , the coating comes off and jams into everything

I like the Transfil black snake stuff.
Very slick changing.
