Why choose cables, or push-pull cables, or torque tubes, or push-pull rods, or....? I mean, cables stretch, rods are heavy, push-pulls are...I dunno...frictiony? So how would you make your choice if starting a design from scratch? I'll narrow this a bit and assume we're not aspiring over 200 mph, nor over 2000 lbs (2+2 or less).
