Gear linkage - cable or rod?

I have about 960mm between the gearstick lever and the gear shaft.

I'm after some pros cons for which way to go, it's a straight run between both, and needs incorporate room for the flat shifter actuator.

Ive had many comments about how smooth my knob feels with my cable set compared to a linked rod system

Negative - Could do with a few pictures of rod/gear setups for blatant copyright purposes aswell
