Good advice here. One thing to pay attention to, given the high capacitance of the Canare cable, is the input impedance of the amplifier at the other end. If it is a typical ~50K Ohms, then the cable-amp roll-off frequency could be as low as 2 kHz.
The Canare (and Mogami) microphone cables excel at noise rejection, but are intended for a 1K Ohm microphone preamp, so a roll-off above 100 kHz, at 35 feet. Whether this is important in your system depends also on the output impedance of the pre-amp - if it is low, there won't be much or any concern.

A low capacitance 'digital' cable (meaning controlled impedance at much higher frequencies, well above audio) might (maybe) make a difference. The above mentioned Belden and Audio Technica look like good choices. Wireworld is likely also low capacitance, based on its construction. BJC offers the Belden 1800F.
