I use these, very hard to find in Australia and very expensive...however they preform like no other cable I've ever used. The are called Pre-Lube by Clarks Cable (no guessing why they are called that)...

Most of the "linear" cables are made by Jagwire. The ripcord model is the best and offered in many colors. These cables are my favorite:
