whats the difference between the 1.3 vs non-1.3 hdmi cable?

The signal is digital, it either gets there or doesn't... just get the cheapest cable that works...

Monoprice is good, pretty high quality stuff for low prices.

BTW, just because it's digital, doesn't mean all cables are identical. It just means that when there's a problem, it's very noticeable. Analog provides a smooth degradation, whereas digital will eventually reach a point where the error compensation can't cope anymore and you'll get major visual errors. That said, you need some really long cable runs before you'll get problems with a digital signal.
Coaxial digital signals are usually good on even cheap cables for up to 50 ft (most of my "digital audio cables" are just whatever old RCA cables I had laying around, they work fine though they're all under 10 ft). HDMI, due to the way the cable is made, suffers problems at a far shorter distance, I forget how long but as long as you're staying under 10ft I wouldn't worry about it.
I'll also vouch for monoprice cables, typically if you buy a cable from them of a certain length, it's insulated well enough to work at that length. (if they offer a heavier duty wire though, I'd go for it since I think they do offer two different gauges on most of their hd stuff)
