My curiosity got the better of me. Here's what I measured for
resistance on patch cables with my 5-6 digit multimeter (0.1% accuracy,
.01 ohm resolution). Consider these relative numbers since this is near
the bottom of my meter's range. I have subtracted out probe resistance.

resistance
Hosa0.35 ohm0.34 ohm
Peavey0.19 ohm0.21 ohm
Synthesizers.com0.11 ohm0.18 ohm
I did not have any 3 foot Cable-ups to test.
Based upon this I would recommend the Peavey's over the Hosa's. They
look and feel nicer too, and are cheaper to boot.
