While there are differences between HDMI cables, it's something that the average consumer need not worry about. Guidelines are in place for manufacturing cables. 28AWG (category 1) for conductors cables up to 15ft or so, and if it goes longer than that, then heavier 26AWG (category 2) conductors are used, along with better quality construction. A majority of users will be using cables of 6' - 10'. Attenuation isn't a factor in these cases, and your cheap ass cable will be good as a diamond-encrusted cable.
