Of course this will be user dependant, but for the HD650, hands down my favorite cable is the Silver Dragon. It does the best job of extracting the HD650 from the veil it has. I find the HD650 to be the darkest laid back sounding of the group and thus I need silver based wire to open up the top end and add detail and speed. I listen to a lot of Jazz, Blues and stuff where I like to hear a lot of instrument separation. The Silver Dragon provides a better soundstage.
For the HD600 I like the Blue or Black Dragon the best. The 600 is not quite as laid back compared to the 650. The Blue is a more neutral / natural sounding cable. Once again it lifts the veil and improves definition and snappiness. Is that a word? If you find you want more weight added to the 600 then the Black will add the same properties of the Blue but with more weight and a little fuller sound. Both cables are smooth but not as lush as the Cardas.
The same can be said for the HD580 as it is the same phone as the HD600 but with a different grill which changes the air flow. My HD580 has 600 grills on it thus it is the poor man's HD600
Hope that helps.
