Default Cable considerations

What makes a great IC cable? Why would a silver conductor be better than a greater diameter copper cable (same resistance)?
Isn't the greatest resistance in the connections anyway? Wouldn't the best way to connect components be using short chunky wires, using binding posts?
If someone could elaborate on the physics of this, that would be great.
