I'd use the highest quality connecting cables I can get, for two reasons:
1)  There's a lot of EMI/RFI out there and you don't want that stuff getting
into your signal lines  - for better or worse most VCRs, like most line
level audio stuff, are high impedance  (typically around 10K or so) and thus
are susceptable to hum, hash, and noise pickup.
2)  You want a cable that has low attenuation at video frequencies.
My suggestions - Monster Cable Interlink Reference (not cheap, but good)
or a good grade of coax.  I suspect the Sony video cables (which will
also work for audio) or Discwasher Gold-ens will give acceptable results
if you're not that picky for a far lower price.
Recards,
