My guess is that the "premium" jumper wires will use a stranded wire to make them nice and flexible, and will have crimped tips with insulation at the ends for pushing into sockets.

Long wires are basically antennae for mains frequency noise. Also, they're great inductive reactance devices and breadboarding makes every connection good candidates for memristors, which screw up the inductive properties of your circuit. That's just the inherent problem with breadboarding. Whenever possible, use short wires and small circuits.

Preterminated male and/or female jumper wires in 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 60 inch lengths are available from pololu.com. I've used the 60" length for digital i/o and TTL serial without issue. Analog showed a slight but manageable voltage drop. i2c was hit and miss, but marginally ok so long as the wires didn't move.
