Neither, from a real-world performance point of view; your wallet may disagree. Or maybe the 16' one, since it's longer.

There are two main kinds of HDMI cables: those which are certified for Standard Speed, and those which are certified for High Speed. (Actually, three kinds: Standard, High Speed, and Totally Not Certified At All.) But just because a cable is not certified High Speed, or not certified at all, does not mean that it won't work with 3D.

Both Monster Cables are listed in fine print as "Ultimate-high speed rated" on their website. (The word "Ultimate", along with the entire rest of the webpages, is a bunch of marketing bs.) So I think we can conclude that both cables, at least at some unspecified-by-Monster-length, pass HDMI high-speed certification. Unless Monster is lying about that. Because when a company sues another business simply because that other business is named "Monster Mini-Golf", what won't they and their army of zombie lawyers do?

See the BlueJeansCable website for some non-snake-oil information.

Any certified high speed cable is capable of passing any HDMI signal. Both those Monster cables will, as will much cheaper cables.

Nothing wrong with Monster except price and how they market their products.
